We are located about a half hour southwest of downtown San Antonio just outside of
Somerset, TX.
However, we do not have a store for "walk in shopping" at this time. Since
we are a bee farming operation and work our bees at multiple locations, we
take orders via the website and arrange for pickup on scheduled pickup
dates. |

Oxalic Acid and Formic Acid are both "organic" options and are available
online from a variety of sources. Our sources are limited at this time, so
we defer you to Mann Lake for these as well as the new version of HopGuard.
Meanwhile we still carry a supply of the Apivar strips and should have
plenty in stock and available throughout the spring season. Please order
below to add to your order for pick up with bees this year. |

Apivar
Apivar® is packaged in vacuum-sealed foil pouches. A single application
of two strips per brood chamber is sufficient to treat a hive, so you
spend less time and effort treating your bees, and there is less
disruption of the bees than with many other treatments. Strips are not
individually wrapped and must be used within 2 weeks after opening.

North American Beekeepers Now Have an Effective Amitraz-Based
Weapon Against Varroa Mites!
Apivar®
- Kills up to 99% of mites in one application
- Continuously released in the colony over a six-week
period, ensuring healthy and productive hives
- Proven safe and effective for more than 15 years
- Leaves no significant residues in hive products
- Convenient and easy to use
Apivar Dramatically Cuts Mite Population
A study conducted by the research arm of the USDA in the spring of 2012
shows that Apivar® was responsible for a 52 - fold drop in mite
population compared to an untreated hive. This demonstrates the
effectiveness of Apivar's® controlled - release technology.

We double check all hives and nucs prior to marking them ready for pick up
and rarely have issues, but we are human and prone to mistakes and bees are
live animals and prone to change from one day to the next. Therefore we have
the following policy and will replace or exchange a
colony if we are notified of an issue right away. Waiting more than a week
to report an issue is not considered right away.
Cancellation, Refund and Return Policy:
Honey bees are livestock, therefore they are
subject to conditions and other factors that effect their health such as;
diseases, pesticides, temperatures, etc. and since we have no control over the
conditions the bees are subjected to once they leave our property, we can
not be responsible for incidents or accidents after they leave our
possession. For these reasons, you are more than welcome to do hive inspections before leaving our property.
Should you decide to waive the pick up day inspection, we simply ask that you please report any issues within 48 hours of receiving your bees.
Since we must make all necessary arrangements and commitments to secure
everything needed to fill orders, from equipment to reserving bees to
securing queens from preferred out of state breeders, etc., we have the following cancellation policy:
Cancellation of Orders: All
cancellations for refunds must be requested in writing within seven (7) days from the time the order is placed. A 10% processing fee will be applied to all cancellation requests filled after the seventh day of the order and will be processed as time permits.
Returns for Supplies and Gear: If there is any issue with any equipment, supplies or gear, please let us know within seven (7) days of the receipt of the product and we will arrange for an exchange. All requests for a refund filled after this time are subject to a 10% restocking fee. |
