Spring Queen & Package Availability — April 1 Start
Our Spring 2026 queens and packages will be ready starting the first week of April.
All mated queen orders will begin shipping the first week of April, aligned with seasonal conditions and production windows. Each order is fulfilled by batch to ensure quality, proper timing, and installation confidence.
Packages
Package bees will be available for local pickup starting the first week of April.
At this time, packages are pickup only.
As always, timing is dependent on weather and early-season development. We prioritize bee condition, cluster integrity, and proper production windows over rushing shipments.
If you are planning spring splits or expansion, we recommend reserving early to secure your place in the production sequence.
