Bee Pick up Schedule for
2020: ****READ THIS WHOLE POST!****
The FIRST pick up is SOLD OUT.
We have some extra bees on the second pick up, so if you need
bees, call ASAP to 651-242-2233 to place your order. If you mail in the order you will be too late. We will discontinue taking bee orders on
April 1st for the second delivery.

Arrival dates for the first and second pick up are APRIL 6th
– First Delivery and around April 10th - Second Delivery. Please note, these could be subject to
change. Check this blog every day
because the date can still change.
Check the blog before coming to pick up. The
bees are scheduled to arrive sometime on these days. The arrival time is
not known so please watch the blog for an announcement that we are ready to
distribute packages. No bees will be distributed prior to announcement on blog. Do not come here before it
is announced that the bees are ready to pick up. You will be asked to leave. You are not allowed to park on the road and
wait.
ADHERE TO THE PICK-UP SCHEDULE. Due to COVID-19 we will have fewer
workers on site, so it is even more important to follow the pickup
schedule. Please do not call and request
to come at another time frame. I know
this maybe inconvenient, but we all need to work together to keep each other
safe and keep this as seamless as possible.
This schedule is to keep traffic at a minimum and in doing so, there
will be less people on site.
UPON
PICK UP DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE. Give us your name, and we will place your
bees in the vehicle for you. This is for
everyone’s safety. Prepare ahead of
time, legibly write the name of the person whose order is being picked up with
black sharpie on a piece of paper and put it on your window. This way, you can keep your window rolled up. You can also write what additional items you
are purchasing. Do not hand cash or
check to the people loading bees and product into your vehicle. We have a separate crew designated to handle
the money that will not be handling the product. They will come to you.
The following will be
items available for purchase when you pick up your bees. These are cash and check only. We will not accept credit cards. If you use cash, BRING THE EXACT AMOUNT
OF CASH so currency doesn’t need to be returned to you. This is an additional safety measure so
please comply. These prices include
sales tax so you can prepare prior to pick up.
