2024 Live Mated Marked Honeybee Queen

Your queen(s) will come marked with the standard color for the year - 2024 will be marked Green

They will ship USPS priority mail.  - tracked and insured

It will take a 2-4 days (from the ship date) for your queens to arrive depending on where you live in the United States.

USPS is experiencing delays to some locations please keep this in mind. 

I do my best to package the queens prepared for experiencing a delay.

If a ship date is posted in the listing title the queens will ship that day... 

Queens will usually be shipped from my location Monday through Wednesday - Orders placed after 6 am eastern time on Wednesday may not ship until the following Monday

If you need your Queen(s) shipped on a specific date contact me to make arrangements before placing your order.

Occasionally, for reasons beyond my control a queen will die in transit. (exposure to extremes of temperature, direct sunlight etc...)

I Guarantee live arrival. If your queen dies in transit send me a photo of the dead queen within 24 hours of package delivery and I will send you a free replacement queen.

If possible, I recommend calling your post office ahead of time and letting them know that you are expecting the queen bee/bees.  Give them your phone # so that they can call you when they arrive and you can pick up at the post office promptly.

HOT WEATHER WARNING!!   If the queen is delivered with your regular mail and placed in your mailbox it will not live long.  It is your responsibility to make sure this does not happen.  

...Notify your post office that you have a LIVE queen bee coming

...Check tracking on usps.com

...Tape your mailbox shut and put a note on it notifying the carrier to deliver to your door.

While we certainly do our best to sell only healthy productive queens we cannot guarantee their acceptance, survival, or performance in your hive because there are many factors that are beyond our control.

Thanks! And Happy Beekeeping.
