Some things to keep in mind when you pick up your bees:

• Transportation is the responsibility of the new owner of the bees.
• We recommend that you bring your protective clothing.
• Nuc pickup times can get a bit crazy and we appreciate it if you place supply orders in advance. We'll have your orders ready to go with your bees.
• It's best to pick up bees when the foragers are in-house. The entrances will be closed shortly before being transported here to keep them with the hive. This is why we schedule pick-up times between 7:15 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Early morning also helps keep your bees from getting overheated.
• The optimum transport is the back of a pickup with the entrances open, although the bees can be restricted for car transport (at your own risk)
• For car transport, you may wish to bring a sheet, netting or Nuc transport bags
• We're not responsible for bees that get overheated once they leave our care.
• All bees sold need larger living quarters right away. Nucs will need to be installed into prepared 10-frame equipment. The bees we sell are strong and need the room when you get them.
• It's recommended to feed Nucs, especially if they are being installed on undrawn foundation.
• Any issues or concerns must be brought to the attention of Dancing Bee Staff within 48 hours of pick-up.

All Honey Bee orders must be prepaid when ordering and are non-refundable.
