Queen FAQ and Terms and Conditions
We sell reusable plastic battery boxes that hold 20 queens for $5 if you need a container for pick up orders. We DO NOT put attendants in the cages so you will need a container for us to shake nurse bees in unless placing the queens in your hive immediately. You MUST give your queens food and water every day or they will die even with nurse bees!!! If you are not installing your queens on the day you receive them they must be banked! We do not guarantee that a queen(s) will be successfully introduced to or will be accepted by your hive. Once the queens leave our care they are your responsibility.
SHIPPING is available. While we strive to ship all queens as soon as possible we are sometimes at the mercy of the weather. Please be understanding that your order can be delayed if the weather is too poor to cage the queens. We ship Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday only to reduce the risk of queens being held over the weekend. A signature will be required upon delivery so please be home and keep an eye on your tracking number.
Although we work very hard to make sure you receive only the highest quality queens, losing queens through the shipping process can happen. To mitigate any losses during shipping, we give 1 free queen for every 20 queens shipped. If ordering less than 20 queens, no additional queens will be added. We are not responsible for queens lost during the shipping process.
