Here is a short list of package bee suppliers and their price for a 3 pound package. Three are "loca" suppliers and one is mail order. Most suppliers offer other options such as 2 pound packages, queenless packages, and quantity discounts. Quantity discounts typically start above 10 or more packages. Combine your order with friends or others in the club to get a quantity discount. This list is not intended to be a comprehensive list, but just to give you an idea of the range of prices this year. Remember the ECWBA does not endorse any bee supplier.
Because of these prices make sure any of your hives that are still alive won't run out of food in the final 2 months of winter.
