In agriculture, getting started quickly can make all the difference in how successful you are. Bee packages enable you to get started quickly.
You might not have a queen when you capture a wild swarm or perform a hive split. With bee packages, you're guaranteed to have a queen.
Capturing a swarm, splitting hives, and other methods are more difficult ways to install your bees. Bee package installations are simple & easy.

"I haven't had a good experience with the other suppliers in the area, but I really like the way these guys do business. One thing that has impressed me all along the way with Bear Country Bees is that they are very good at communicating in a professional and timely manner. My other favorite thing is that they arranged a bee package drop-off in Salt Lake City for those of us that live farther away so we didn't have to travel as far . That was a nice personal touch. All around great service!"
We believe in providing the best service in the industry to all of our customers. yes, that includes you :)
"Bear Country Bees has a MUCH better service quality than other bee package suppliers I've tried. I'm much more satisfied with what I received here. They made bee package pre-orders very easy and kept me very well updated on the arrival status."

The Package Pickup Event that the guys at Bear Country Bees put on was really enjoyable! Not only were they really professional and personable, we appreciated that they took extra time to coach us while we were there. They were really prepared with extra supplies and made solid recommendations on what would best fit our needs. We'll definitely order from them in the future!
Packages are available on a first come, first served basis and even though we order extra packages every year, we completely sell out.
As such, bee package pre-orders are a necessity to ensure you secure bees for the upcoming season.
