# Golden Bloom Apiary Supply

[Golden Bloom Apiary Supply](https://beekeeping-retail.mock.shop/llms.txt) is a [mock.shop](https://www.mock.shop/) sample store for building against a beekeeping and garden supply shop before a real Shopify store is ready. The catalog includes beekeeping suits and jackets, hive kits, honey extractors, smokers, pruning shears, rakes, and storage jars. There are 60 products across five collections. Every product has a single variant, so the storefront can skip option selection.

mock.shop is an auth-free Shopify Storefront GraphQL API backed by sample reference stores. Find out more about [mock.shop sample stores](https://www.shopify.com/blog/mock-shop).

## When to use this store

Choose Golden Bloom Apiary Supply when you want to build a beekeeping and garden supplies store with beekeeping suits and jackets, hive kits, honey extractors, smokers, pruning shears, rakes, and storage jars.

Use Golden Bloom Apiary Supply for:

- A beekeeping supply shop with suits, hive kits, extractors, and smokers
- Equipment and clothing pages without size or color selectors
- Apiary and garden collections with direct add-to-cart and sale displays

Choose another mock.shop store if you need size-selectable protective clothing or a compact catalog. Browse <https://mock.shop/llms.txt> to find a store that matches your catalog.

## Example Golden Bloom Apiary Supply query

Here’s an example GraphQL `POST` request that retrieves options and variant prices for one product from <https://beekeeping-retail.mock.shop/api>:

```bash
curl https://beekeeping-retail.mock.shop/api \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"query":"{ product(handle: \"linen-blend-market-tote-bag\") { id title options { name values } variants(first: 50) { pageInfo { hasNextPage } nodes { id title selectedOptions { name value } price { amount currencyCode } compareAtPrice { amount currencyCode } availableForSale } } } }"}'
```

This query retrieves Linen-blend market tote bag, including option values, variant IDs, selected options, availability, and current and compare-at prices. Use the selected variant’s ID and price when adding it to a cart.

The endpoint doesn't require authentication or an access token. Read <https://beekeeping-retail.mock.shop/llms.txt> for catalog details and store-specific instructions.

## What this catalog lets you test

Build a beekeeping and garden supplies storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and mixed-item carts. Linen-blend market tote bag has one Default Title variant. Hide that placeholder control and use its variant ID for add-to-cart actions. Fifteen products have compare-at prices for sale displays. Collections such as Protective Apiary Wear and Cedar Sanctuary Hives support themed browsing. Product titles aren’t proof of protective performance, equipment compatibility, or food-safe materials.

Preview the catalog in a storefront by opening <https://beekeeping-retail.hydrogen.mock.shop> in a browser.

## Build with an AI coding tool

To build a beekeeping and garden supplies storefront with Golden Bloom Apiary Supply using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or another AI assistant, copy the prompt below. It gives the assistant the store domain and directs it to the catalog instructions before it starts writing code.

```text
Build me a Hydrogen storefront using beekeeping-retail.mock.shop as the store domain. Setup instructions: beekeeping-retail.mock.shop/llms.txt
```

Shopify also provides a [mock.shop starter project](https://github.com/Shopify/mock-shop-starter): a Hydrogen storefront with product pages, collection browsing, and a working cart already connected to mock.shop. You or your AI coding tool can customize this code instead of building those pieces from scratch.

Follow the repository’s setup instructions, then set `PUBLIC_STORE_DOMAIN=beekeeping-retail.mock.shop` in `.env` and restart the dev server to use Golden Bloom Apiary Supply’s catalog. Leave `PUBLIC_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN` empty; mock.shop doesn’t require a token.

## Move to a real Shopify store

mock.shop uses fictional, read-only catalog data. Cart operations work, and checkout is mocked: no payment is taken and no real order is placed. The Customer Account API isn’t supported.

When you’re ready to launch, point your storefront at a Shopify store and add that store’s public Storefront API token. If you don’t have a Shopify store yet, [start a Shopify free trial](https://www.shopify.com/free-trial) to create one.

Read the [mock.shop developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/mock-shop) for setup and migration details.
