SOME THINGS TO KNOW

Remainder of payment is due upon receipt of your nuc(s) . Please have cash or check ready.  

We have early pick up times to ensure that the bees won't get too hot during transport back to your apiary. 

Have your hive boxes ready to install ahead of time and drive directly to your apiary location.

Although it will be early and the bee nuc boxes will be closed there might be bees flying around our farm - and if you are placing them in your car, you might consider wearing your bee suit!

If placing in the open bed of a pick up truck, be prepared to cover your bees with a light sheet so they aren't affected by wind. 

The hives that these nucs were split from were treated for varroa mites earlier in the spring but your bees have not been treated. We recommend that you treat your colony for mites - there are many options that include organic treatments and chemical treatments. Do some research and use the method that you think is best. We do our very best to provide you with healthy-varroa-free bees but the reality is that varroa mites are now a part of beekeeping and have proven to be impossible to totally eliminate. 

Be watching for links to good videos about how to install and care for your bees.

Get ready now to receive your bees - hive boxes in place, frames and feeder ready.

Set yourself up for success!

We look forward to meeting you. Please email us with questions.
