When starting out keeping bees, the most gentle bees are recommended.
Because Italian bees are very gentle they are the
most common and the ones we use are form the top VSH lines available.
Our Texan lines are a bit more defensive, but
they are also a hardier stock and a bit more mite resistant on average.
Each Queen comes in an introduction cage with attendants on the outside and
candy tube for automatic slow release.
We recommend removing the old queen and waiting 24 to 48 hours before
introducing a new queen.
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.

Due to recent closures in the UPS shipping hubs nationally and price escalations for
overnight shipping, the price for imported queens form out of state have increased.
We order enough for our needs and try to have enough extra to offer to our customers,
but the supplies are limited at times due to weather conditions.

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.
