📦 Shipping & Availability

Fast, reliable shipping ensures your queen arrives healthy and ready to work.

The timing of when queens are available for purchase, including ship dates or pickup dates, are tentative and heavily weather dependent. We will make every attempt to meet expected dates but offer no guarantees. We will give as much notice as possible on expected delivery or pickup dates.

We do not pre-sale queens. If queens are available for purchase, we have them on hand and ready to ship within the week. The first mated queens are usually available around mid-April and will be shipped in JZBZ queen cages. We do not ship queens to Alaska or Hawaii.

Queens are shipped without the purchase of any added insurance and are shipped under the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Replacement is at the discretion of Chilton Bee Company.

Open and inspect queens upon delivery. Contact us immediately concerning any issues. Queens must be placed into a hive as soon as possible. Please call us if you have any questions about introducing a queen into a hive

Queens are also available for pickup. Choose pickup during the checkout process and you will be contacted to arrange a pickup date and time.
