At 16481 CR 319, Navasota, TX 77868, a painted pine Langstroth box waits on the loading dock, heavy with 2027 BeeWeaver bees and a marked, mated queen already laying brood. BeeWeaver’s 2027 Established Colony is a turnkey way to start a productive hive: everything you need to get going—frames, brood, drawn comb, workers and support syrup—arrives assembled and ready for installation. These colonies are created to order; you must place your order before April 1, 2027 to reserve a pickup date. Pickup dates are assigned with firm windows, and BeeWeaver will email specific instructions after purchase. Each purchase includes a new 10-frame deep painted pine brood box, matching bottom board and migratory lid, eight frames of drawn comb with brood and stores, a mated, clipped and marked 2027 BeeWeaver Queen, and a one-gallon in-frame feeder filled with syrup. BeeWeaver selects for Varroa Sensitive Hygiene and other natural disease resistances, and raises colonies without chemical treatments. The result is a mixed-breed, hardy colony designed to establish quickly in your apiary and reduce the need for miticides. Recommended installation, transportation and care instructions are supplied at pickup and on request. Logistics are straightforward but firm: choose your pickup slot when you order; BeeWeaver cannot accommodate custom pickup times. If you transport bees in a vehicle with an enclosed cab you will need a Hive Net; open truck beds or ventilated trunks generally do not. Once you accept your colony, BeeWeaver’s liability ends; customers must document frames and interactions with photos or video and submit them to [email protected] to open options for replacement or refund. For questions, call (737)230-3435. What makes BeeWeaver stand out in the Texas outdoor-recreation and agricultural landscape is its focus on pollinator health and accessible stewardship. Navasota sits amid working farms and homesteads where robust hives translate directly into better gardens and crops; buying an established, disease-resistant colony accelerates that benefit. The chemical-free, mixed-breed approach reflects a practical, field-tested strategy rather than a single-variety gamble, and the clipped, marked 2027 BeeWeaver Queen simplifies early-season inspections. This option is ideal for first-time beekeepers who want a higher chance of success, backyard stewards expanding apiaries, or community projects needing dependable colonies. Pickup is at 16481 CR 319, Navasota, TX 77868; reserve before April 1, 2027 via the booking link and plan for a 30–60 minute exchange window at pickup. With clear instructions, a ready-to-work queen, and local support, BeeWeaver’s established colony makes starting a hive a practical, land-based adventure. Attend a local workshop or schedule one-on-one guidance; BeeWeaver recommends lessons before transport and installation to maximize colony survival and productivity, and they offer bulk pricing for orders of more than ten colonies—email or call to discuss options and scheduling.
