BEE PACKAGE INFO
If you want to support local beekeepers and get package bees for a great price then you found the right place. Here's Why..
- Our Bee Packages are made locally from our bees in Layton, UT and other local Utah beekeeping operations and won't been shipped from out of state on a truck for long distance while bouncing on a truck to get to you.
- Check out our Google reviews! We have a strong reputation and we work hard to keep it.
- You are supporting a local family owned business. We love what we do!
- You get the support of 2 experienced beekeepers who are willing to answer questions you might have or guide you through any situation you might be stuck on or are unsure about.
- Free Marked Queen with current years color - Other providers don't offer this. We see the value of having a marked queen especially for beginners. It's very educational to be able to see the queen.
- Your bees will be treated for varroa mites so your bees can have a nice clean start.
You can't go wrong choosing between a PACKAGE or NUC. But with a package it's fun to see the process and witness the hive grow from nothing into a full strong hive. Or maybe you just need to add bees to a vacant hive from the previous year. Either way, you will save a little bit of money. Bonus!
All bees are Italian/Cardovan and Carniolan mix. They are bred for their gentleness and honey collecting. Bee Package INCLUDES $5 refundable deposit for bee cage when cage is returned in re-usable condition. Bonus!
