A package contains 1.5kg ( 3lb) of bees and a Mated Marked Buckfast Queen total price £250.

These are ideal for populating Warre hives, top bar hives as well as for populating the more popular Nationals, Commercials, Langstroth etc.

The packages should be ready towards early May but as always this is highly dependant on the weather. They are collection only from Andover. Due to the nature of packages there is little flexibility on the date of collection as they much be collected within 24 hours of us preparing them and we only have a short window in which to produce them.

Packages are not as straight forward as bees on frames to install and we do not recommend them to beginners. We accept no responsibility if the queen is not accepted by the bees during the installation of your package.

We are members of the National Bee Unit's Disease Assurance Scheme for Honeybees - DASH. We work very closing with the NBU (National Bee Unit) and APHA (Animal and Plant Agency) to guarantee you disease free bees that are a pleasure to handle.

Pay a deposit now of £40, the balance £210 will be invoiced just before the packages are ready.

All deposits are non refundable.
