There's a queen bee farm (right term?) in my neighborhood. One time I walked into the post office and as soon as I open the door I hear a roar of buzzzzz... There was at least a full pallet of flat-rate boxes of bees.
- Wingman4l7 9y agoYes, beekeepers will routinely replace their queens with fresh ones, although queens can last several years. The "farm" in your neighborhood was probably someone breeding queens for sale, which are shipped in a small box with a few worker bees. It could also have been someone selling "nucs" (nucleus colonies) -- basically, starter hives -- although these packages would have been substantially larger.
