Important Pick Up Rules
Important Pick Up Rules
PreOrders must be placed no later than 7 days prior to pickup weekend.
No rescheduling beyond the pickup weekend.
Colonies are built strong for a 10-frame hive. Waiting longer can trigger swarming.
Transfer EZ-NUC colonies to an 8- or 10-frame hive immediately after arriving home, if not being transferred into your box at the farm.
All equipment must be assembled and painted before pickup. Be sure to allow time for paint to fully cure.
Responsibility transfers to the buyer once bees leave the property.

Bees Are an Investment
Bees Are an Investment
Strong colonies cost money and time.
Education protects that investment and helps your bees thrive from day one.
Why This Matters
Why This Matters
New beekeepers often lose their first hive because they start without preparation.
Healthy colonies require management to:
• Prevent swarming
• Monitor pests and disease
• Maintain space in the hive
• Keep bees productive
Learning first saves:
• Lost colonies
• Frustration
• Unnecessary expense

Why Are Honey Bee Queens and NUC Colonies Only Available Part of the Year?
Why Are Honey Bee Queens and NUC Colonies Only Available Part of the Year?
Honey bee queens and NUC colonies are seasonal, because queen mating requires warm weather, abundant drones, and nectar flow conditions that only occur during certain months.
Even though our bees fly all year here in Southwest Florida, Queens and NUCs can only be produced part of the year, which is why there are NO Queens nor NUCs available for sale from JANUARY-MARCH and after OCTOBER-DECEMBER
Some years we can start producing them earlier than others, some years we have to end earlier than others (due to weather - hurricanes or temperatures below 60F).
