Queen Honeybee – Pickup Only

2026 We are offering the following queens this year – all will be marked for free: Italian Carniolan Buckfast Queen Cage Holder is designed to hold a queen cage within the beehive while the queen is being introduced to the new hive.  We offer them for a reduced price of $3 each, only when purchasing a queen, package or nuc. Later in the season we will be raising our own queens (after June 1st) All Queens, Packages and Nucs are for PICKUP ONLY from our house in North Barrington, IL After pickup, we can not refund money for dead queens, packages or nucs .  If you have any questions on how to hold or install your bees, please ask.  Generally speaking, keep bees in a cool, dark place – away from heat with plenty of air movement.  If you are planning on keeping your bees for more than a day, be sure to ask about how best to keep them alive. We highly recommend that you install queens, package and nucs as soon as possible.
