Package bees - PICKUP ONLY

  Package contains 1.8kg of bees and a mated queen. Each kg of bees is likely to contain an average of 3500-4000 bees depending upon nectar flow situation. Packages of bees can be pre-ordered, and will be available end of November early December.  We will notify you a day or two before the packages are ready to be collected. Please note that live bee packages cannot be sent by mail. Please choose whether you wish to collect from the Hornsby or Mt Druitt branch. Note: Packages of bees normally have a waiting time for 15-20 Days depending upon breeding conditions.    Tips for installing Packages of Bees Do not install packages in an existing yard of bees--they will drift into an established hive. Far better to install on or after dark to stop drifting. If you try to install in a daylight on a warm day, major drifting will occur and you may even end up with huge swarms hanging in the tree. Feed strong white sugar solution for at least a week to helps bees draw few frames. HBS strongly recommends using brand new equipment for your package of bees. Secondhand hive equipment could potentially contain disease spores.      New Bee Bio Security Law: As per new bee bio security law, we need to register our beehive with department of primary industries and supplies has to keep record of registration number.
