Bees for Sale

  • Single Deep Colony - SOLD OUT

    WE ARE SOLD OUT OF SINGLE DEEP COLONIES FOR THE 2021 SEASON. Best wishes on the upcoming bee season!

    Single Deep Colonies: This includes a frame feeder, 8 frames with bees, honey and pollen, and a 2021 queen. The queens are open-mated Minnesota Hygienic stock, so their colonies will be a blend of Italian and Carniolan heritage. 

    Order Deadline: SOLD OUT

    Singles: $190/each, plus tax.

    Pickup date, time and location: All will be emailed to you, posted on our Facebook page and our website. We anticipate these will be available in the first two weeks of May, but the exact date depends on weather, traffic, and other factors we cannot control.

    Pickup only, no shipping. 

    The Not-So-Fine Print:

    • Reserving your packages: Orders are taken first come first served based on receipt of payment. Telling us or emailing us that you want a package does not count as placing an order.
    • Communications: Watch for an email from us and check our Facebook page and website for updates.
    • Sales Tax: Exempt only with submission of the MN Tax Form ST3 PRIOR to picking up.
    • Online Orders: Sold Out.

    Guarantee and Conditions

    By placing your order with The Bee Shed, you agree to the following:

    • We cannot guarantee the health of your bees (including the queen) once you take delivery. We strongly suggest you confirm that the queen is alive before you leave with your bees.
    • We are not responsible for the health, productivity or honey production of your bees once you have picked them up.
    • We cannot guarantee when the bees will arrive. There are too many factors out of our control that may impact delivery date. We will inform you as soon as we have a firm pickup date.
    • We do not refund based on delayed delivery, only if we do not receive the packages at all.
    • This is livestock - anything can happen. There is always the possibility that our supplier will not be able to deliver bees. We will do our best to find other options if this happens, but we cannot guarantee we will be successful. You will be refunded should we not be able to get bees.
