ORDER YOUR BUMBLEBEES NOW

Over the Christmas period we have consistently had challenges in getting hives quickly to customers, due to the increased courier freight at this time of the year.

As Christmas Day and New Years day fall on Wednesdays we only have a single day to get hives to customers before it becomes a 5 day journey, which is not ideal. We will only ship hives on Monday the 23rd and 30th at the buyers risk, so please be aware of this if wanting to give a hive as a gift. We will also be avoiding shipments on the 18th or 19th of December.

MAXIMISED POTENTIAL

Maintaining the perfect hive temperature costs the bumblebees in time and effort. When insulation is inadequate, more bees will stay at home for thermoregulation duties potentially wasting precious daylight hours.

Using our new insulated outer in winter or spring equates to greater bee activity throughout the life of the hive, and better pollination outcomes for your crop!
