Prices, Ordering and
Shipping
I try to keep a small number of hives in stock but they
are almost always gone by late spring. Since it is not
practical to start a new hive late in the season, it is best
to order well in advance.

A swarm in may is worth a load of
hay.
A swarm in June is worth a silver
spoon.
A swarm in July isn't worth a fly.
It is best to send me an eMail describing what you want
so that I can let you know about availability, current
prices, shipping etc. click the envelope to open your
eMail program.
Hives are bulky and shipping is expensive. Most of my
customers pick up their hives at my shop in Wolfeboro,
NH, an hour or so north of Concord. I will be happy to
quote shipping costs to you or send you driving
directions.
