Imported from California. Italian queens come plain by standard; if you do want your queen marked or clipped, you must indicate as such in the available notes section of your order form, and allow for some time to produce this custom request. Clipped and marked queens cannot be ordered or picked up without pre-ordering.

Specifications:

Italian Queen:

• A 3-Hole Queen cage of wood, a metal mesh screen, a cork at either end of the cage, and a block of sugar candy for sustenance in travel and installation
• 1 Italian queen

• 6-8 attendant worker bees

At purchase, you will be directed to select your preferred pick up date from a calendar of available dates and times. Each date will have a firm pick up window, and instructions for pick up dates will be emailed with order confirmation information. We cannot make exceptions for custom pick up dates or times.

Once the Queen has been accepted and picked up by the customer, BeeWeaver no longer retains liability for lost or damaged bees and colonies, including in transport to the owner’s property from BeeWeaver property. We recommend that all customers take lessons and read information for the transport, installation, and care of queens and colonies before making the purchase for greatest success. To ensure protection against the unlikely case of a failed installation due to insufficient production practices from BeeWeaver, we require our customers to take photographic and/or video records of every interaction with their queen and hive, and submit those images and videos to BeeWeaver Management at management@beeweaver.com to initiate options for replacements or refunds.

Please call us at (737)230-3435 with any further questions or concerns involving your purchase, scheduling, pick up, and installation process. We are happy to help as much as possible and look forward to hearing from you!
