Queen Bee Shipping Schedule
Queen Bee Pre-Orders are finished. We are now back to our regular Summer Queen Shipping Schedule (see below)
*If you have already cleared a specified ship date with us, you can disregard this schedule*
Summer Queen Shipping Schedule: All Queens will ship UPS Next Day Air. We ship every week Mon-Thurs. You will be required to select a ship date when you add Queens to your cart. Queens will be delivered next day.
Queen Pickup In-Store: Queens are always available in-store during business hours but we cannot guarantee Queen Type, Marking, or Clipping unless you call ahead or place a website order. Please call one day in advance or place an In-Store Pickup order if you want to pick up a specific queen type, or if you would like marking or clipping.
If you decide to purchase a Queen Bee in-store without calling first for availability, we cannot guarantee that we will have your preferred queen type available

*Our pickup hours reflect our best estimate of the time that it takes the truck to make the trip. Weather, road conditions, and loading the truck in California can all contribute to delays or changes in pickup times. We do our best to estimate hours, but timing is always subject to change. Misjudging the arrival of the truck and people showing up early has created dangerous parking situations at our location in the past, so we appreciate your patience in waiting until pickup hours have been finalized*
