Description

QUEENS ARE PICK UP IN STORE ONLY. WE DO NOT SHIP.

Queens will become Available in April.

Our Queen Bees are mated, proven layers. We will guarantee the Queen alive in her cage for 3 days while she’s being introduced to your colony under the requirement that you place her into the hive right after picking her up from our store. If we give you a Queen in a cup with attendants, you will remove the Queen Cage from the cup and place the cage on a frame towards the center of the Hive.

If given a Cork, you will wait until the 3rd day to remove the cork and replace with a marshmallow.
If given a candy plug, you will check on day 3-4 that the Queen was released from the cage.

If you are splitting or re-queening a hive, we recommend your colony has been Queen-less for 24 hours minimum prior to introducing a new Queen.

Do not leave a Queen without attendant bees to take care of her.

Do not use a marshmallow in place of the cork on day one of installing your new Queen. Marshmallows can be eaten in 30-60 mins and your colony needs 3 days to acclimate to your new queens pheromones before she is released.
