Some things to keep in mind when you pick up your bees:

• Transportation: sealing, taping, or closing bees in any way are the responsibility of the new happy owner of the bees.
• Bring your protective clothing or arrive early to purchase it from our store.

• The optimum transport is the back of a pickup, although the bees can be restricted for car transport (at your own risk)

• We're not responsible for bees that get over heated once they leave our care.
• Prevent excessive heat or cold while transporting. If transporting on a hot day or for a long period provide water and sugar syrup or honey through the package screens. Bees cannot stay in packages more then 7 days.

• Packages do not come with any brood, so your population will start to decline over the next few weeks. The queen starts laying 2-3 days after she has been released. It will take about 21 days before the first brood begins to hatch. On day 5 after releasing the queen check your frames for brood. New brood means the queen is active and laying. The queen can lay faster if provided with drawn comb, if not it is best to choose frames with wax foundation.

• It's recommended to feed nucs especially if they are being installed on un-drawn foundation.
