Dead on Arrival or Improper Laying Queen?
The queens are insured, but the shipping is not covered. We will send replacements, but you will have to pay for the shipping. If your queen arrives dead or does not lay correctly we will replace her. There is a three week period in which we will replace her. That gives ample time to make sure she is a good queen. If you have a dead on arrival send a picture to our email address with a brief note. [email protected]
By placing your order you accept these terms.

PACKAGE BEE POLICIES, WAIVER & GUARANTEE
When you order package bees online, by phone, via email, in person, or by mail you agree to the following policies, contract terms, conditions, limitations, and exceptions with The Honey Bee Factory:
At The Honey Bee Factory we make every attempt to have your bees ready for delivery on the scheduled date. However, the production of package bees and queens is dependent on factors which lie outside of our control, including but not limited to weather patterns. As a result, The Honey Bee Factory may need to rearrange scheduled dates or make other accommodations. The Honey Bee Factory will provide notification to you via email, phone call, or postal mail if this situation occurs to minimize the inconvenience. We do not refund any money for packages that do not arrive on a scheduled date as long as an alternative date is provided.
A Health Certificate is provided with every “The Honey Bee Factory” package. However, this does not guarantee that you will be able to successfully establish a colony or “hive” the package. You agree that you will not attempt to hold us responsible for whatever may happen to your package after it is picked up or delivered to you or for the survival or productivity of the hive that you may establish from the package. We do not refund any money for packages that do not survive. - If your package is dead on arrival please notify The Honey Bee Factory by email with pictures at [email protected].
- There will be a $5.00 charge per package for any order cancellations or order changes made after the order is placed. Cancellations must be received no less than 72 hours in advance of ship date.
- Shipments Only: Packages are guaranteed to arrive with no more than 1" of dead bees. Anything more than that and we can file a claim. All you will have to do is send pictures to our email and pay for the shipping of the replacement package. For a replacement queen there will not be any charge for the queen, but you will have to pay for the shipping.
- If the package arrives and your queen is dead on arrival, but there are still live bees in the package, hive the package and place the dead queen in with the bees to hold them. You agree to keep the dead queen with the bees and hive the surviving bees in the package as soon as possible.
There is a potential risk of injury from activities involved in beekeeping, and while particular rules, equipment and personal care may reduce this risk, the risk of injury does exist; and you knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the releasees or others, and assume full responsibility for your participation; and, hereby release and hold harmless The Honey Bee Factory, their officers, other participants, and if applicable, owners and lessors of the premises (“releasees”) used to conduct any event, with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, to the fullest extent of the law, whether arising from the negligence of the releasees or otherwise.
