3 lb ITALIAN Package Pick Up 5/17/25

We are excited to be offering ITALIAN package bees for Illinois pickup in 2025!

These packages contain approximately 10,000 fresh bees (3 pounds) and a young, mated ITALIAN Queen.

Packages offer a more affordable alternative to NUCs, are available earlier in the season, and can be placed in any type of hive.

Note: Regular feeding is necessary for the health and development of the colony.

All of our packages include Marked queens!

Please note that these packages are for pickup from Minonk, Illinois!

Pickup location: 447 Oak Street, Minonk, IL 61760

Pickup time is 9am to 12pm on Saturday, May 17th.

If you have any questions, call us at 309.461.7885.

After your purchase, we will contact you with further pickup details. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Another note: live bees are for local pickup only and are priced accordingly, so there is no 10% pickup discount like our other products have. If you are ordering other items in addition to bees, please place a separate order if possible. Contact us with any questions. Thanks!
