OHB Golden West Package Bees
Bitterroot Buzz Bees makes every effort to supply your bees on the scheduled date, but please note that the production and delivery of package bees, nucs, and queens are subject to various external factors such as weather patterns, transportation issues, and other unforeseen circumstances. As a result, Bitterroot Buzz Bees reserves the right to adjust or change the pre-selected shipping or pick-up dates as necessary. We will make every effort to notify you in advance through email, phone call, or SMS, and provide the exact time for pick-up or delivery.
Package Bees: When receiving package bees, it is normal to observe a certain number of dead bees in the bottom of the package. This can be anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ inches of dead bees, which is typically a result of the natural lifespan of worker bees, the timing of their entry into the package, and the stress they may experience during shipping. Olivarez (Ohbees), ensure that an adequate number of bees are provided in the package to account for this loss.
Bitterroot Buzz Bees guarantees that your package bees will arrive alive with no more than 1 ½ inches of dead bees, evenly distributed across the bottom of the package. Additionally, Olivarez guarantees that the package will contain a fertile queen. However, please understand that Bitterroot Buzz Bees and Olivarez cannot guarantee the success of your hive once the bees are in your possession.
By accepting pick-up of your package bees, you acknowledge and agree that Bitterroot Buzz Bees and Olivarez will not be held responsible for any issues that may arise regarding the condition of the bees after they are in your care, including, but not limited to, the failure of the bees to establish a viable colony, their survival, or the productivity of the hive you attempt to establish.
Please note that no refunds or replacements will be offered for package bees that fail to thrive or perish after pick-up or delivery. You assume full responsibility for the care, management, and success of the bees once they are in your possession.
If you have any questions or concerns about the health of your package bees upon receipt, please contact us as soon as possible, but please keep in mind that once the bees are in your possession, the responsibility for their well-being lies with you.
