These packages are comprised of 3 pounds of worker bees accompanied by a caged queen bee.  They are the Italian breed which is known for its docile nature, consistent laying trends and strong honey yields.  The breed also overwinters well in northern climates. You can select your queens to either come marked or unmarked.  We continue to supply this line of bees to our customers as we have found them to preform very well year after year.  Pickup Date:  April 17
