Package bees or nucs? What's the difference? »»

These nucs come with about 3 pounds of bees already established in a 5 frame colony with a Carniolan Queen (a hardy, gentle breed).  This small colony consists of brood in all stages of development, with pollen and honey giving it everything it needs to grow. Most importantly, our nucs are raised in the Great Northwest. The NUCs will be a Pro NUC reusable plastic NUC boxes. Pick up typically starts mid April through May depending on your order date or of course the weather and growth of the bees in the Spring.

This is a pre-order for pickup here at our shop this spring. Bees start selling fast this time of year as the days get longer. Wait too long and you will have a hard time finding them for sale. And prices tend to rise as supplies diminish. You can reserve yours with a paid order. You will be notified well ahead of time when they will be ready for pickup. Pickup days are so fun - you can meet us, ask questions, interact with other beekeepers and just have a lot of good camaraderie. If life throws you a curve ball and you need to cancel your order before pickup, just let us know and we will gladly issue a refund.

Pickups will be on a first-bought, first-picked up basis, so if you want to be in the earliest pickup slot, be sure to get your paid order in right away.

If you have any concerns with your nuc please contact us within a week. After this period we can not assume responsibility regarding the state of your nuc.

If you have any problem during the cart/checkout process, please text me at 360-440-6745 and I will do my best to promptly help. If you need more than three nucs, you can text me and I'll see what I can do for a discount for you. 

We will be looking for volunteers on pickup day for those who wish to help with traffic control and making sure everyone gets their bees!
