2025 SOURCES COMING SOON
Below you will find a list of bee sources for the 2025 spring season
Things to know: All bees coming into Montana from out of state must have a certificate of health issued from the state of origin. This is to prevent the spread of disease. Most sellers require full or partial pre-payment and these deposits and purchases are generally non-refundable. This is at the discretion of the seller. When receiving your packages, queens, and nucs, it is your responsibility to inspect them carefully before leaving the sellers yard. A few sellers offer guarantees and some allow you to cancel or change your order. Know your terms before you buy and inspect your bees before leaving the bee yard.
Check the suppliers' websites/phone to verify this information and to see if they match your requirements and then order.
Check with other club members to possibly consolidate orders, pickups, and deliveries.
