3 lb Package Bees - Spring 2023 Pickup

We are now sold out of package bees for the spring 2023 season. Please check back with us in December to order bees for spring 2024!

We are excited to once again be offering package bees for pickup in 2023! These are an Italian/Carniolan hybrid that we use in our own apiaries with strong success. Our packages are picked up from the breeder in Georgia and delivered here for pickup less than 24 hours after the bees are put in the cage. This reduces much of the stress on bees that comes from days of shipping in the mail, and means that they will build up more energetically in your hives! All of our packages include marked queens!

Please note that we do not ship package bees, they are for pickup only from our facility in Minonk, IL. 

After your purchase, we will contact you with further pickup details. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Another note: live bees are for local pickup only and are priced accordingly, so there is no 10% pickup discount like our other products have. If you are ordering other items in addition to bees, please place a separate order if possible. Contact us with any questions. Thanks!
