The dates of availability may be earlier or later depending on the weather. After February 18, 2024 full payment is required to confirm order.  No refunds for no shows. The $75/$100 deposit per item is non-refundable if cancelled after February 18, 2024.  Due to current economic conditions, the price is not guaranteed until full payment is received.  We guarantee bees are in good condition at the time they are picked up.  

Due to many circumstances and management practices that can affect bees outside of our control we cannot be responsible for bees once they leave our premises. You agree that we are not responsible for whatever may happen to your bees after they are picked up including the survival or productivity of the colony/hive. Please take care of your bees on the way home providing plenty of ventilation. Bees can overheat quickly so DO NOT stop when transporting the bees.  Install your bees in your woodenware as soon as possible.  

For queens that are shipped we guarantee to deliver healthy, laying queens to the shipping carrier. While we make every effort possible to ensure live delivery, we are not responsible for loss as a result of shipping. In the unlikely event that a loss occurs, it is the recipients responsibility to file a claim with the carrier for a refund.  Shipping costs are extra.  For shipping we only guarantee the bees were in good condition at the time they were delivered to the carrier. We assume no liability for the bees once they are accepted by the carrier.
