Packages of Bees are now out of stock for 2022. We may still have nucs of bees for purchase this year. Check for nucs or give us a call (818) 280-6500.
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
If bees are not picked up on the scheduled day, your funds will be forfeited.
