PACKAGE PICK UP INSTRUCTIONS:
Package pickup will be on April 30th in LOVELAND. we will be distributing packages at High Plains Environmental Center located at 2698 Bluestem Willow Dr, Loveland, CO 80538. Please see the map on how to enter the facility. We ask that you line up with your vehicle and remain in your vehicle to keep the line and distribution process quick.
We will have someone there handing out marshmallows for your queen cages. Please be careful with swapping the cork for the marshmallow so that your queen does not escape. Queens that escape will sometimes often return to the cluster. so we ask that you wait at least 1 day to locate your queen in your colony if this happens. Or you can leave the cork in place and manually release your queen 3-5 days after your package install. You can purchase new queens from Too Bee or Not Too Bee in Denver. We will have very few extra queens in case of a mortality. If your package happens to have a dead queen (which is rare) upon arrival. Please contact Lisa at 713-253-9308 before May 2nd. You will need to bring the dead queen in her cage for the exchange.
If you are not personally available to pick up your package, please make arrangements for someone else to pick up your package and install them for you. You must pick up your package on April 30th between 10am and 12noon that day only or you may lose your package. You should install your package that day, weather permitting. If we happen to have bad weather, you should be able to keep your bees in the package for at least 2 days. We will have further instruction on package install for bad weather if this is the case.
