What You’re Getting

Each package is a wooden screened box containing:

• 3 lbs. of worker bees
• A mated Italian/Carniolan hybrid queen in her own cage
• Sugar syrup can for the trip home

Packages do not include frames, brood, or drawn comb. They are a traditional way to start bees, best suited for beekeepers with some hands-on experience.

Pickup Details

• Pickup will be on two scheduled dates in April 2026.
• Exact dates will be announced in January.
• You must arrive on time for your scheduled window and take bees directly home — bees are live animals and do not tolerate delays.
• If you miss your pickup, your order (and deposit) will be forfeited.

Health & Safety

• Bees are livestock. Treat them with care. Plan for:
• Adequate airflow and ventilation during transport.
• Driving directly home after pickup (no errands in between).
• Wearing protective gear and handling with appropriate tools (veil, gloves, smoker).

We’ll also schedule package-installing demos on pickup days to help you get started — watch your inbox for details.

Once bees leave our care, responsibility transfers to the buyer.
