Inside the Box: Spring Splits, Queen Sass & Swarm Season

Inside the Box: Spring Splits, Queen Sass & Swarm Season

It’s that time, folks — spring splits are ON, and the bees are booming. We’re waist-deep in swarm calls, watching colonies go full throttle, and running our first hive split class this weekend. (Still a few spots left — grab one here if you're fast!)

👑 Polline VSH Queens are in stock now — $50 each. These are top-notch ladies for your spring splits or requeening efforts. Just be sure to contact us first to schedule a pickup — they’re not sitting in the fridge, they’re alive and buzzing in our outdoor queen bank and take a bit of prep to hand off properly.

No free Saturday workshop this week due to the class, but we’re back on schedule next week. Meanwhile, come see us during shop hours or reach out to schedule a time for specific questions or needs.

🚨 Swarm season is peaking — and fast. If you’re not ready to split your hives, at least get a swarm trap up. We’re stocked with the Interceptor model, a solid option for baiting swarms near your apiary.

Shop Hours:

  • Wednesdays & Thursdays: 2–7pm

  • Fridays: 10am–7pm

  • Saturdays: 10am–1pm

And yes — it’s getting hot. We’re already seeing folks get run down out there, so take care of yourselves. Water up, rest when you need it, and remember this is the most alive the bees will be all year. Ride that wave.
