Tom's Bee Hives

Tom's Bee Hives has been providing local Las Vegas honey for generations. Following Tom's passing in November 2025, his wife of 47 years, Mary, and their family continue his legacy by offering raw local honey harvested from the hives on their property.

Raw local honey is available for pickup by appointment only. Quantities are limited, call to order.

Please note that custom beehives, bee removal, honey extraction, propolis sales, and all other beekeeping services have been discontinued. Tom's Bee Hives now focuses exclusively on offering raw local honey for pick-up in Las Vegas.

Meet Tom Lioubas, a Greek immigrant who came to America with a will to work and a passion to succeed. “I dreamed about the opportunities and loved America before I ever came here,” said Tom with a smile. The oldest of four children, Tom was born in 1938 on the picturesque island of Corfu to family generations in the bee hive business. In 1951 as a young boy, he enrolled in a technical high school perusing another passion, the carpentry trade. He soon became a master carpenter and a foreman superintendent.

Known for their craft in the industry, in 1962 Tom and his family were exclusively commissioned to build beehives for the Greek Agricultural Department. It was a big success! After his discharge from the Greek Special Forces, Tom remained active in the family business while opening and operating a fine cabinetry shop for several years. Upon his departure for America, he left the business to his younger brother.

In 1971 Tom arrived in Las Vegas and set his sights on his dreams and aspirations. His carpentry skills and craftsmanship were quickly noticed and he was soon working as a union carpenter. By 1976 hard work and perseverance earned Tom his General Contractor’s license. For over 30 years he has built quality commercial and residential projects throughout the Las Vegas valley. He cultivated many life-long relationships in the community, both personal and professional. Always eager to help anyone setting out to undertake a business venture, he lends his advice and support to all and is loved and well respected.

In 1983 Tom received a great honor and was published in the Las Vegas Review Journal as a top rated entrepreneur. He weathered the economy through its depressions and prospered with its booms. Las Vegas gave him everything he came here for, and he gave it back in craftsmanship, community, and honey.

Tom built some of the finest beehives in Las Vegas and had a gift for relocating colonies safely, keeping every hive intact and every bee alive.

He loved this work until his very last day. That passion lives on in every hive he saved from being killed, and continues through the sweet flow of honey still running in the quality hives he shared with the world.
