PRE-ORDER BEE COLONIES! AVAILABLE FOR PICK UP SUMMER 2024
If you’re looking to get bees this coming season we have some lovely colonies available for you in Summer.
This is a deposit for your colony.
Placing this deposit on your bees is 40% of the full amount ($290).
The remaining amount of $174 will be due before pick up.
Bees are available during Spring & Summer - date to be confirmed with weather and colony observations (this is so that I provide bees which have maximum colony numbers and resources for the colony). There is typically a 2 - 3 week wait for your colony to be ready.
Our bee colonies are led by an F1 queen raised from our own carefully nurtured stock, which originates from our highly valued breeder queens. We prioritize the cultivation of exceptional genetic lineage in our queens, ensuring meticulous attention to detail at every step of their development. This is what makes an exceptional bee colony. It is all in the genetics!
The bees come as a nucleus colony. Meaning they are on frames with all of the baby brood, pollen and honey they need to get a big head start for the season.
It goes without saying, that the bees for sale are not swarms with an old queen or purchased queen added, and not splits taken from other hives to raise an emergency queen. These are genuinely bred and raised Italian or Caucasian honey bees. With a queen who was given exceptional attention in the critical growing stage of her life by us, here on the South Coast of NSW. The Queen makes ALL the difference in your beekeeping experience and success.
When your colony is ready I will contact to complete payment and to arrange delivery. We are following all DPI emergency order protocols, and are permitted to move and provide bees. All bee colonies will be varroa mite wash checked prior to pick up.
If for any reason you need to cancel your order, we can arrange a refund of $50 to insure costs are covered that have incurred to set up your colony - being for brand new nuc box, brand new timber foundation frames, mated queen raised especially and labor.
