We at Jacob Springs Farm have for many years served the local beekeeping community by bringing in and distributing bees from our beekeeping friends in Northern Wyoming. Together with capturing honeybee swarms and splitting honeybee colonies, package bees are a great way to start new colonies.

If you need a topbar beehive for your bees - we make and sell a few different kinds or you can download plans for the Open Source Beehive project with more plans to be posted soon.

From the 2016 Ad

Bee packages from Wyoming - $115 each With Carniolan queens Great bees, low price! Order now for pickup the first week of April We also sell top bar hive and have some langstroth hives for sale too.

Logistics

  • Bees are only reserved when we receive your full payment by cash or check.
  • See list below to confirm our order - allow a few days for us to update it
  • Bees will be picked up sometime in mid April
    • there are several factors that affect the timing of the pickup - weather is a major one.
    • this means that we reserve the right to "flex" the delivery date to give us all the best chances for success
  • You will be notified by phone at least a day prior to the pickup date
  • Pickup will typically begin in the afternoon to late afternoon of the first pickup day
  • Pickup will be at Jacob Springs Farm - 7602 Arapahoe Road, Boulder, CO 80303
  • You will have until the evening of the day following the pickup day to collect your bees - after that we may have to give the bees away
  • If you can't make it - send a friend. We will release the bees to a friend of yours if you let us know that's ok.
  • see package bees for instruction on how to deal with bees in the packages prior to installation.
