Note:
We always attempt a pickup day that best supports the bees during spring weather fluctuations. Prairie Wind Bee Supply or BackYardHive.com are not liable or responsible for anything after the bees are picked up. We will provide information on installing the bees at our classes and our emails.
Note to mountain folks:

Email Contact Us if you are wanting more than one package and we will put on the reserve list.
