2013 Package Bees from Highland Bees
« on: January 22, 2013, 03:45:46 PM »
This Spring we will have both 3lb queened packages of bees and 5 framed Nucs. Both the packages and nucs will be queened with our hybrid VSH (varroa sensitive hygiene) Carniolan/Italian queens that are highly sensitized to Colorado. We have been selecting and breeding queens who exhibit:

Good Honey Production
Hygienic Behavior
Successful over wintering
Gentle Dispositions

Bee Package Prices
1-5 packages: $102
6 packages and up: $95
Marked Queen, add $3

Our planned delivery date will be Saturday May 4th in Denver at To Bee or Not to Bee in Denver. The timely delivery of bees is dependent on the weather and the mating of queens. If we need to change the delivery date due to unforeseen circumstances, you are still responsible for picking up your bees on the alternate date.

Hello,
I am new to bee keeping. I am in Carbondale, Colorado. Do you make any deliveries closer to this area by chance? Thank you, Amita

I also live on the western slope and would be curious about a closer delivery.  Is that a possibility, pres?

Thanks!

Dan

Hi!  I am interested in putting an order in for two packages with marked queens, if possible.  Let me know the details!  Oh, and I'm up in Fort Collins.
Thanks!

Hello,

My name is John, I'm by Denver, actually in Boulder County near Lafayette. I would like a queen and 3.5# package including the Nuc I would need for them. I will meet you in Denver, or it would be nice if you can to my place. I'm about 30mins north of Denver center. This will be my first hive. Please contact me at d681952@aol.com. My name is John
I have a garden every year, approx 2500 sq ft and this year a bee keeper had about 6 or 7 hives down the road and in 10 years my pollination in the garden was the best ever. I have 2 ac up against a ranch and always wanted bees. I hope you can help me out and let me know everything I need to be successful
