Our Buckfast bee packages are grown here in Georgia. Buckfast bees are better suited for cold winters due to the queen will continue to produce brood into the Fall months, which means the colony will be more robust going into Winter. Buckfast bees, overall, are equally docile as Italian honey bees. Our Buckfast package bees include: a screen box, sugar water container or fondant block, approx. +/- 3 lbs. of bees, which includes nurse bees, forager bees, guard bees, and drone bees. The colony of bees will consist of one or more Italian, Carniolan, and Russian worker bees. The Buckfast queen bee will be in a separate queen cage.
We ship Buckfast bee packages on Thursday’s during March, April and May. Once we ship, your tracking information will be on your online account.
