Pickup Details
This product is pickup only. Once your order is placed, I’ll email you when your colony is nearing readiness. There’s no need to select a pickup date at checkout — once the colony is prepared, you’ll receive a calendar with available pickup times so we can schedule what works best for you.
Quality & Care
MHC bees are raised without the use of chemical treatments, and our queens are selected for disease resistance, calm temperament, and strong colony behavior. Whether you’re new to beekeeping or expanding your apiary, we’ll provide care instructions and management tips to help ensure a smooth start.
