Some things to keep in mind when you pick up your bees:

• Transportation: The bees will be ready/sealed for pickup/transportation. Keep NUC boxes parallel with your vehicle. You do not want the frames to hit each other with the stop and go.
• NUCS are always prepared day of to reduce any and/or all issues. Therefore, we’re not responsible for bees/Queens that get overheated once they leave our care.
• The Queen will be in their own Queen cage with some worker bees, and someone will go over how to place it when you arrive to pick up.
• The bees we sell are strong and need the room when you get them. Therefore, you should have your hives set up as soon as you get them to your location. Wait 15-30 mins before opening as they are most likely agitated from the ride.
• It’s recommended to feed NUCS especially if they are being installed on un-drawn foundation.
• Please return NUC boxes at your earliest convenience.
• For any further questions, our staff are very knowledgeable and will be able to answer any questions your may have. We are also a phone call away!
