Each package contains about 10,000 bees and a mated queen—perfect for beekeepers starting fresh with new equipment. Thoroughly inspected and guaranteed, these bees are ready to grow into a strong, productive colony.
Our 3-pound packages contain approximately 10,000 bees and a young, mated queen ready to establish your new colony. These packages are a great choice for both new and experienced beekeepers who want to start fresh with their own equipment and foundation.
The bees are sourced from strong, healthy colonies in Georgia, where early spring conditions allow them to build up well before transport. Each package includes a mated queen in a separate cage, along with worker bees ready to accept her and begin building comb and brood in their new home.
Before distribution, all packages are inspected to ensure the bees are healthy and free from serious contagious diseases. We provide a two-week queen guarantee following pickup, giving you time to install your bees and confirm that your queen is laying properly. If a queen issue arises during that time, please contact us promptly so we can arrange a replacement.
It is essential to feed your new colony sugar syrup immediately after installation and continue regular feeding until the bees have established brood and begun storing food. Consistent feeding helps your new package grow into a strong, productive hive.
