Please read the details:
You must include a valid email address and phone number when ordering, so we can contact you in the spring!
-
PICKUP ONLY SELECT YOUR PICKUP LOCATION: Late March expected, exact dates will be finalized in March because of weather variables. We will contact you with pickup date when locked in (please provide a phone number and an email address when you order in case one does not work). This date is not recommended for farther north because of weather, especially without drawn comb.
- Feeding these new bees until the new colony is well established is also NECESSARY because of the time of year.
- Each package is 3 lbs of bees with a mated and marked 2027 Latshaw Carniolan queen
- Discount at 10+ packages
- $5 discount per package for check or cash (contact us for total if writing a check)
- If you are tax exempt, we need a copy of your tax exemption form to exempt the sales tax (once on file with us, forms are valid for 3 years)
- Please check the bees and queen before you leave, and if there is an issue during pickup, we will give you a different package (BEFORE YOU LEAVE)
- If the queen has an issue within the first 30 days, replacement queens will be available for $25.
- We ask you to please follow our package install instructions. If you have any questions, simply call or text us to let us know.
- If possible, install the package on a frame or two of drawn comb (or more). A mite treatment (Oxalic Acid Dribble or Vapor is recommended) within the first 7-10 days after install is a good idea, as there is no capped brood for the mites to hide under
- ***If you want to replace the queen with different genetics, anyone who purchases a package from us can buy a queen in June or July 2027 from us at a 50% discount.
*We are licensed and inspected by the state of PA to sell bees and queens. Here is a page of beekeeping tips.
