Package Bees (includes 3 pounds of worker bees, and a young, mated and marked BeeWeaver Queen)

Disease Resistant, Mite Tolerant, Big Honey Producer

BeeWeaver breeder colonies are selected annually from our thousands of hives. Our bees have not needed ANY mite treatments since 2001.

BeeWeaver Packages are the only packages hauled by the producer directly to customer pick up locations. We strive to deliver the healthiest bees in the industry. Our efforts will increase the likelihood of your success in hiving your bees.

We are now shipping our packages exclusively through UPS Next Day Air.

The reasons for this are two-fold: last year, we gave our customers a choice of Priority or UPS and we noticed a much higher incidence of dead or damaged packages with our Priority shipments. Not good for our bees and not good for our customers nor us since we guarantee live arrival. And secondly, the USPS hub in Bryan-College Station is now closed which adds an extra day or two to Priority shipments. The cost is higher but you get healthy bees picked up from our farm in the afternoon and delivered to your door the next day, often before noon.

Please note that shipping costs per package dramatically reduce when you order 2 or more packages. Additionally, 2+ packages travel better then singles. They are more stable and give the shipper strips of wood to grip when moving them.
