PURCHASED WITHOUT GUARANTEE ($155):

• Check the bees and queen before you leave, if there is an issue during pickup, we will give you a different package (BEFORE YOU LEAVE)
• Once you leave, the bees become your responsibility
• There is no further guarantee on the bees, and we ask you to please follow our package install instructions.
• If your queen has an issue within the first 30 days, a replacement queen can be picked up at a 50% discount on the cost of the queen.
• If possible, install the package on a frame or two of drawn comb (or more). A mite treatment (Oxalic Acid Dribble or Vapor recommended) within the first 7-10 days after the install is also a good idea, as there is no capped brood for the mites to hide in.

In person payments by cash are at Walnut Farm Bees in Carlisle, PA or Nicholson, PA only.

*We are licensed and inspected by the state of PA to sell bees and queens.
