Some Considerations When Purchasing a Package of Bees.
Is it a 3lb package or a #3 package. This looks the same but it is not. A 3lb package will have 3 pounds of bees. A #3 is just a designation and has no guarantee of any bees.
How close is your package provider? Do you want to drive 3 hours each way to get your package? If you have a dead queen do you want to drive 3 hours each way again for a replacement queen? Your Time is worth at least $15/hr and the IRS says your mileage is worth $.55/mile.
Can you get a replacement queen if needed?
Will your package provider return a call and answer any questions about the your package or installation.
Do they have any references?
If everything is equal then consider the price
After all the above how much a package costs is really the last thing to consider.
