- How much does it cost to buy bees from Super Bee?
- A colony of bees starts at $300. The cost is for a healthy colony of bees with 2 frames of brood and 2 frames of honey/pollen. The price includes delivery and a 1 month guarantee. We do not sell recent rescues as we must first evaluate their health and temperament, and rehabilitate as needed. We normally have a 6 month waiting list and only deliver in spring and summer.
