VAT excluded Usually dispatched in 3/4 working days on Monday Tuesday Wednesday

Bee packages are “naked” swarms (no frames) ideal for starting new colonies or boosting existing hives. Each package contains 1.5 kg of young bees (≈ 15,000 workers). You can choose queenless packages or packages with a mated Ligustica or Buckfast queen, bred and selected for gentleness and productivity.

What you receive

  • 1.5 kg of selected worker bees, with no drones and with older bees excluded.

  • Queen options:

    • Queenless package (no queen)

    • Package with a caged, mated Ligustica queen

    • Package with a caged, mated Buckfast queen

Why choose them

  • Rapid startup for new colonies and reinforcement of existing hives.

  • Enhanced biosecurity: introducing “naked” bees reduces the risk of pathogen transfer compared with nucleus colonies on frames (frame nucs).

Speed ​​and Accuracy in the preparation of the Order

Quick post-delivery instructions

  • Keep packages out of direct sun, cold, and drafts; temperature ≥ 12 °C.

  • Hive after a few hours of rest following transport; you may pour the entire box or only the bees, according to your method.

  • Starter feeding: 50% syrup every 2 days, preferably in the evening, together with protein fondant (candi). In ~2 months, the colony reaches full strength.

Our team creates bee packs in a highly professional way, following specific criteria and phases developed over the years. We specialize in the production of packages that include:

    • the shaking of bees directly from the super
    • the passage through a special funnel
    • the use of an electronic scale calibrated to the amount of bees necessary for the composition of the package

The entire process is therefore extremely optimized and this allows us to provide you (very quickly) with packages made up of young, strong bees with a high life expectancy. The swarms are completely free of drones and kept cool thanks to the use of ax holders made with highly insulating materials.

Sale of bee packs: transport and incarnation

Selling swarms bees online first of all involves the process of creating individual packages, which are then kept inside a cold room and shipped within a day, in order to guarantee the integrity of the structure and stress as reduced as possible for translocated hymenoptera. The transport takes place through the use of refrigerated and ventilated vehicles, an ad hoc solution designed to preserve the vitality and original characteristics of the swarm. The advice is to keep the bees away from drafts and away from excessive cold or direct sunlight.

After reaching their destination, the packs of bees must be "inarnate", as is the case for all swarms. It is possible to opt for the hulling of the entire transport box or only the bees, depending on the method chosen. The advice is to proceed with the transfer anyway after a few hours, a period of time during which the bees will have time to calm down after the stress caused by the journey. Also take into account the recorded temperature, which must never be below 10 degrees.

The initial and final steps are identical in both procedures. Remember to provide 50% syrup every two days for nourishment, preferably in the evening in order to avoid episodes of looting, associating everything with protein candied fruit, which will ensure a faster recovery of the hive. At the end of the first week, or even a few days before, it will be possible to open the family by gradually adding wax sheets or honeycombs built, according to the needs of your swarm. In about 2 months, the growing process should be over, with the family appearing ready for the first harvest.

Why focus on our bee packs?

By choosing our bee pack sales service, you can rely primarily on an incredibly performing core development mode and a higher health level for your swarm. This is because, by inserting naked bees in your hive, you will lower the probability of transferring any diseases (virosis and pests) or bacterial loads at the same time as the hive. The packs without a queen, therefore orphaned, allow you to "upgrade" the families, so as to have them ready during the harvest period.

Orders and general information

Our sale of bee packs requires a minimum order of 5 units, with the possibility of delivery to the headquarters but also to a specific motorway exit. In fact, we want to effectively meet your needs, taking care of every detail and facilitating collection operations. Each package, as mentioned, contains more or less 15,000 young and strong bees, able to do the harvesting work in the best possible way and to provide a valid help to your hive and to production in general.

The delivery phases extend from March to June, so you can choose the period that suits you best, based on your production needs. All the specimens used in the online bee swarm sale are of extreme quality, thanks to our attention in finding the most industrious, long-lived, healthy and mild colonies. These bees, in fact, will never come into conflict with any pre-existing swarms, but on the contrary they will have an active part in stabilizing and settling the family. The same goes for the availability of queen mothers, also associated with a high quality level.
