Pre-order a package of bees now for the 2022 Spring beekeeping season. Bees are for pick up only. We do not ship bees. One of the preferred ways to start a bee colony is with a package of bees. A package consists of three pounds of bees in a wooden box with screens on two sides. Inside the box, there will be a can of sugar syrup and a small cage containing a mated queen hanging by a metal tab. Here, the queen is able to be cared for by nurse bees until the package is ready to be installed inside of a hive box.
A package contains:
Three Pounds of Bees
A Can of Sugar Syrup
A Mated Marked Queen
REFUNDS
Orders for packages and nucs may be returned and refunded for the full amount until March 31, 2022.
REFUND POLICY AFTER APRIL 1ST
A store credit will be issued for all cancelled orders received after April 1st. We cannot accept cancellations the day before the scheduled pick up day. If bees are not picked up on the scheduled day, your funds will be forfeited.
