NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR THE 2025 SEASON
** UPDATE ON 3 POUND PACKAGED BEES ** We were expecting pick up to be the first week of April but we have just received notification (March 5, 2025) that the 3 pound packaged bees will not be available for pick up until the 3rd week in April due to the cold / snow that Georgia has been having. With their weather conditions, they want to make sure that the queens are well mated and the cold / snow is slowing that process down. With that said, the deadline for ordering bees has been extended if you are still interested in packaged bees.
Single Deep Hive, Complete with Bees (8 or 10 Frame, your choice)$ 375.00 plus tax
Sometimes for 1st year bee keepers installing your first package can be an intimating process, by ordering your bees like this, it removes the issues that go along with a new queen being accepted in your package. We install your 3 pound package of bees into a new complete single deep hive, make sure the queen has been released, marked, and a couple frames of wax has been drawn, and your queen is laying as she should before you take delivery on your new hive, this has been a really good option for first year beekeepers.
The hive kit will consist of a solid bottom board, 1 deep brood box, 10 frames with plastic foundation, inner cover, outer cover and entrance reducer. We do require $100.00 deposit at the time of ordering.
