Regarding bees:
- We do not ship bees, pickup will be at our farm in Hogeye, Arkansas.
- Pickup will be early in the morning or late in the evening to allow you to get home without the bees overheating.
- Bees need installed in a larger hive body the same day or next day.
- If not able to install immediately place the nuc in the same spot or even on top of the hive to be installed and open the entrance. If you pickup in the evening open the entrance and wait till the next day to install, do not install at night.
- This is a good place for information on how to install a nuc.
- Click here for information on how to care for your nuc.
- We will replace a failed nuc at our discretion within 7 days of purchase.
- The nucs need to be picked up promptly once they are ready. If we hold on to them too long for you then it is likely they might swarm. There is a lot of preparation and labor that goes into making the nucs and getting them ready.
- $50 cancellation fee if cancelled before March 15 on nucs.
- No refund after March 15 on nucs as we have already began the process of making up the nuc at that point. If you want to reassigned your nuc we will be happy to allow someone else to pick up the bees for you. Please send us an email for our records requesting the reassignment.
- One of those general liability statements: Honeybees can sting. Stings may cause an allergic reaction. Hogeye Honey is not liable for any harm due to keeping honeybees. Proceed at your own risk.
