BeeWeaver Packages do not require regular chemical treatments for Varroa Mites. BeeWeaver Queens are bred and selected for their generational demonstration of Varroa Sensitive Hygiene behaviors and natural resistance to the diseases that Varroa carry. BeeWeaver Bees are always kept and reared without chemical intervention. BeeWeaver Bees are a mixed breed of many different varieties of bee, allowing for the most resourceful genetic behaviors to be passed through the generations, resulting in a hardy, healthy, and workable bee colony.

Recommended transportation, installation, and care instructions will be provided with the confirmation information, at pick up, and can be distributed at request as well. A Nuc Net is recommended but not required for customers intending to retrieve their bees in a vehicle with an enclosed cab, but not needed for open truck beds or trunk areas with sufficient are flow. Some drift of bees may be on the outside of the package at pick up, but will be removed to the best of the beekeeper’s ability at hand-off. We sell Nuc Nets for customers on site on the day of pick ups, as well as anytime online for your convenience.

Once the Package has been accepted and picked up by the customer, BeeWeaver no longer retains liability for lost or damaged bees and colonies, including in transport to the owner’s property from BeeWeaver property. We recommend that all customers take lessons and read information for the transport, installation, and care of packages before making the purchase for greatest success. To ensure protection against the unlikely case of a failed installation due to insufficient production practices from BeeWeaver, we require our customers to take photographic and/or video records of every interaction with their package, and submit those images and videos to BeeWeaver Management at management@beeweaver.com to initiate options for replacements or refunds.

Please call us at (737)230-3435 with any further questions or concerns involving your purchase, scheduling, pick up, and installation process. We are happy to help as much as possible and look forward to hearing from you!
