Package - Exclusive Local Colony - Honeybees 2025

BC Bee Supply Proudly Offers Local Packages of Honeybees Originating in Canada!

This product is a prepaid reservation for a mated queen and approximately 1-1.5 kg of honeybees, all assembled in British Columbia. These "local packages" will be available for pick-up in late April or early May 2025.

We are excited to be the first to provide locally packaged honeybees to BC beekeepers! Each package includes a sufficient number of locally sourced, healthy bees and a mated queen, ideal for starting a colony at the optimal time in Spring. Due to limited availability, each customer may reserve only one exclusive local package.

Once you place an order online, we will follow up with you prior to your pick-up in May 2025. A date and time for pick-up will be emailed to you approximately one week in advance.

Advantages of Our Local Packages:

• Sourced from local BC honeybees
• Fresh, young bees with a mated queen already acclimated to BC weather and time zone
• Bees confined for less than two days in cages
• No exposure to seasonal, altitude, or transportation conditions
• Compatible with Langstroth, Top Bar, Warre, Flow, and other non-conventional hive styles
• No nuc box deposit required
• Introductory pricing at only $250 each—making it the lowest-priced packaged bees in Canada!

Please Note:

• Packages will be available no sooner than early May.
• No frames of drawn comb, beeswax, or brood are included.
• Each buyer is limited to one colony for 2025. 

By purchasing this prepaid reservation, you will secure a live honey bee colony from BC Bee Supply!

Additional Notes:

• While these bees are local to BC, they are not local nucs. They may consist of overwintered stock with a surviving queen or a newly established queen.
• These bees are certified as healthy livestock but may contain varroa mites.
• Methods of mite treatment or hive manipulation may vary based on seasonal weather and the timing of colony pick-up.
• Honeybee colonies become the customer's responsibility once picked up from BC Bee Supply. While we strive to provide support and advice, many factors beyond our control can affect the success of these colonies after pick-up. Therefore, BC Bee Supply cannot guarantee the development or establishment of a successful colony once the package is collected.
• There are no returns or guarantees on live bees.
• All paid reservations and purchases for live bees (nucs, packages, queens, mason bees) are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-cancellable.

Shipping Options: Available for customers outside the Lower Mainland/Metro Vancouver area.
