Queen Bees - Limited Supply - Not Marked
2024 & 2025 Queens -  No Shipping - Local Pick Up by Appointment Only

The Queens are mated and tested for laying production. Each will come in a cage with a candy release tube for self introduction release, meaning the bees in the hive will eat the candy to allow the queen to come out of her cage which allows time for acclimation. These queens come unmarked and unclipped.
 

    You will have the option to add the number of Queens you would like when you get to the next page after you click the "Add to Cart" button. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like additional information. We will send a notice with all of the needed information the Monday prior to the scheduled pickup date as well as the physical address to be used on a given date. Please make sure we have the correct and most current email address and phone number when ordering.

Queen Bee $45

Mated & Caged - Not Marked or Clipped

When starting out keeping bees, the most gentle bees are recommended. Italian bees are the most common and are VSH lines. Each Queen comes in an introduction cage with attendants on the outside and candy tube for automatic slow release.
Remove the old queen and wait 24 to 48 hours before introducing a new queen.

Queen Bees are not marked or clipped unless otherwise noted

Types of Bees

We double check all hives and nucs prior to marking them ready for pick up and rarely have issues, but we are human and prone to mistakes and bees are live animals and prone to change from one day to the next. Therefore we have the following policy and will replace or exchange a colony if we are notified of an issue right away. Waiting more than a week to report an issue is not considered right away.

Cancellation, Refund and Return Policy:

     Honey bees are livestock, therefore they are subject to conditions and other factors that effect their health such as; diseases, pesticides, temperatures, etc. and since we have no control over the conditions the bees are subjected to once they leave our property, we can not be responsible for incidents or accidents after they leave our possession. For these reasons, you are more than welcome to do hive inspections before leaving our property.

    Should you decide to waive the pick up day inspection, we simply ask that you please report any issues within 48 hours of receiving your bees.

     Since we must make all necessary arrangements and commitments to secure everything needed to fill orders, from equipment to reserving bees to securing queens from preferred out of state breeders, etc., we have the following cancellation policy:

Cancellation of Orders: All cancellations for refunds must be requested in writing within seven (7) days from the time the order is placed. A 10% processing fee will be applied to all cancellation requests filled after the seventh day of the order and will be processed as time permits.

Returns for Supplies and Gear: If there is any issue with any equipment, supplies or gear, please let us know within seven (7) days of the receipt of the product and we will arrange for an exchange. All requests for a refund filled after this time are subject to a 10% restocking fee.
