Shipping: Mid-April through Late-October

We do have some production flexibility (depending on the weather). You may certainly request your order for a specific date, however we're not going to sacrifice a breeder queen's quality to meet a shipping date: Our goal is to produce the best quality stock. For early Spring grafting from our queens, we recommend you order to take delivery in September - November and over-Winter your breeders. We'll be in touch as we get nearer to actual shipping dates. We will contact you prior to shipping your order.

To finalize your order

Please check over your invoice. Pay to lock in your order: we accept personal/biz checks or Zelle transfer.

Custom Insemination Service

Our Custom insemination service is very flexible. One option is to ship your properly aged virgins to our facility. Once inseminated with our semen, your queens are shipped back to you. Please Contact us for more details on this service and allow us to provide you a quote. Use the contact form and we'll be glad to reach out to you.

Shipping: We take every step to see that the breeder queens you order arrive healthy and ready to work for you. We use UPS Next Day Air service -- they have performed well over the years. If the weather is poor, we'll hold off on shipping.
International Orders: We can ship semen anywhere in the world. Please check with your laws regarding importation of honey bee germplasm before you contact us. To buy semen for making AI crosses, you must be able to legally receive imported honey bee semen from the USA. If you are unsure, contact your Agriculture Department or Customs office.
