| Product Overview |
| A 3-pound package of live bees contained in a wooden box, with a can of sugar syrup to feed the bees during transport and a mated queen enclosed separately in her own cage. The package should be installed as soon as possible after pickup to minimize bee stress and losses. Before picking up your package, prepare the hive where you plan to install the bees and have all necessary tools ready to safely and efficiently complete the installation. |
| Important Information About Your Bee Package Pickup |
| At Bella’s Hives, we take great care to provide you with strong, healthy bee packages ready for their new home. Cancellations made more than 30 days before the pickup date will incur a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellations within 30 days of the pickup date are non-refundable. Once a package is picked up, its care and handling become the customer's responsibility, and Bella’s Hives cannot offer refunds, exchanges, or replacements after pickup. Because bees are living creatures, their health can be affected by travel conditions, weather, and installation practices. To give your bees the best chance, please plan to install them promptly after pickup, transport them carefully, and have your hive equipment ready. Every queen from Bella’s Hives is marked with a special ink color and pattern; if you experience queen problems within 60 days after pickup, you may bring the queen back alive and we will replace her free of charge. Please make sure to read our Terms and Conditions before placing your order. If a package is not picked up on the scheduled date, we may not be able to offer a refund or replacement. |
| Tips for Beginners |
| Starting with a bee package is a rewarding experience, but it requires careful attention during installation. When you bring your package home, install the bees into their hive as soon as possible, ideally within a few hours. Keep the package in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated area during transport — bees can quickly overheat if ventilation is poor, and overheating can cause them to die before installation. Never leave the package in a hot car or in direct sunlight. Gently introduce the queen following recommended methods, giving the bees time to release her naturally. Feed the colony sugar syrup consistently for the first few weeks to help them build new comb and settle in. Sometimes the syrup can get stuck inside the feeder, so it's a good idea to have a small tool on hand to help clear it if needed. Remember, patience is key — it can take some time for the colony to fully establish itself. Call us if you need help! |
