2023 bees are sold out!
Queen Honey Bees Contact for price plus shipping
We raise Minnesota Hygienic Bees; available April 1-June 30. They are from an Italian line. The Honey Bee Research lab at the University of Minnesota bred this line of bee to be good honey producers, gentle, and resistant to brood diseases. Breeder queens are available, also.
Recommended shipping options for queens:
USPS Express ($+, usually next day, sometimes 2-3 days).
USPS Priority ($+, 2-7 days)
UPS Next Day Air (Price varies due to size and location. Plan on $40+, but guaranteed next day).
Nucs $175 each
Nucs (nucleus colony) consist of 5 frames with honey/ pollen/ brood, bees and their queen. It comes in a cardboard transport box that you take home. You transfer the bees into your own bee equipment. If you prefer to pick up your bees in your own equipment, I will need your hive set up about a week ahead of time.
Hives
Single story hives for sale are sold out at this time. What is included is migratory lid, bottom board, and one deep brood chamber with bees, young, laying queen, brood, honey, pollen. Bee population will be greater than that of a nuc. You will need to plan to have additional brood chamber and honey supers to add to the hive.
Refund/ Replacement Policy
If there is a problem with your bees, I need to be notified within 10 days of you receiving the bees. Refunds or replacements are determined on a case by case basis. If there was a problem during shipment of queen bees, or if the shipment was delayed, I must be notified immediately to help correct the situation. If shipment is later than guaranteed date by USPS, shipping cost is refunded.
