We are now taking Package Bee orders for 2008. We offer packages with a choice of either Carniolan or Italian queens. Orders are filling fast.

In addition to our normal 2# and 3# pkgs, we are also offering a 4# pkg with two queens. I can give a decent price on the 4# unit. You need some know-how to handle the 4#. You will be spliting the bees into two units. Call me if you have questions. Phil Ebert 641-527-2639.

Our packages will be coming from CF Koehnen and Sons, just as they did last year. We will sell packages until the truck is full. We are targeting the first week of April (Saturday the 5th) as a delivery time, but this will be totally dependent on the weather in California.

Package bees are "poured" into the cages for delivery.

Did you ever wonder how they get all those
bees into each package?

Thousands of packaged bees are sent across the US every year.

Pour me another package please!

High population hives are used to make the packages. A can of corn syrup is used as feed in each cage to sustain the bees on their journey.

Package Bees feed on canister of corn syrup for their trip across the country.
