These are individual queens are for hives that need re-queened or split. If you do not have a colony of bees you will need a package of bees, these queens cannot survive on their own. If you are looking for package bees, you can find them here.

Queens are pick up only and must be picked up during our Bee Day, no exceptions. If you can’t pick them up please don’t order or make sure someone can transport them for you.

These are queens without workers to put in an existing colony of bees. If you need to start a new hive you need a package of bees, not just a queen.

There are a couple of queens still available for purchase on Bee Days, purchase in store, first come basis.  ]]> 3LB Package of Honey Bees with a Queen https://tubbsberryfarm.com/product/package-bees/ https://tubbsberryfarm.com/product/package-bees/#comments Tue, 05 Feb 2013 00:23:54 +0000 http://www.tubbsberryfarm.com/TBF/?post_type=product&p=189 Package Bees & Queens are for PICK-UP ONLY!
