Frequently Asked Questions

When will my bees be ready?

All options will be available for pick-up in mid-April in Whitehouse, TX.

When will I be able to schedule my pick up?

We will start scheduling for you to pick up your bees after we have checked the splits. We split around mid March, and then wait around 21 days for the queen to hatch and go on her mating flight. We then check them to ensure that we have good hives for you. We will then contact you to begin scheduling pick up dates. We will contact you through email to schedule the pick up.

I need more time to pick up my bees.

If you pick up your bees after the last pick up date you will be charged a maintenance fee. Days are calculated starting after the last pick-up date available. Bees will be held for up to one week after pick-ups have ended.

1-9 Hives: $5 a day per hive

10-19 Hives $2 a day per hive

IF I HAVE A PROBLEM AFTER I PICK UP MY BEES. WHAT HAPPENS?

When we sell you a hive we want you to be happy and enjoy your bees. These are living creatures, however, and we do everything to ensure that you get a quality hive. After splitting we do a series of checks to ensure a good population of healthy bees, and a laying queen. When you pick up your hive we also go through it with you again to ensure you are happy with the hive. Please ask any questions you may have when picking out your bees. Once again these are living creatures and nature has her own plans. Once you get home if you have any questions or concerns please contact us. We want to help. If something happens to your hive within the first month we will work with you to exchange your hive. Please note that after this time period these bee's health are your responsibility. Read up on treatment options and feeding options. Again, please let us know if there are any problems once you get your bees.
