Terms and Conditions

When you pick up your bees you should bring protective gear.  We will show you your bees before you leave if you desire.  Bees can escape their packages, nucs or hives so gear is important.  Bees travel well in the open bed of a truck.  If transported in a car or an enclosed personal space a large cardboard box to cover the bee container works well.  A large sheet works well too. 

Ten Acres Ranch does not guarantee you will be able to successfully establish your colony.  We guarantee you live, healthy bees at the time of pickup.  Weather conditions and environmental exposures are under your control during transport through final placement.  Environmental exposures include but are not limited to the hardware the bees are in, handling, transportation and placement conditions.  We do not guarantee the productivity of your queen, hive or nuc.   The vigorousness of the bees to produce honey or more bees is environmental and genetic and outside our control.  We do not guarantee that any queen will be accepted by your hives.  We do provide tips for increasing the likelyhood of acceptance.  You agree that you will not hold Ten Acres Ranch responsible for the condition or productivity of your hive after delivery.

NO CANCELLATIONS OR REFUNDS.  Pick-up dates and time are scheduled by appointment only.  We will reach out to you to start scheduling a good pick-up date and time.  All bee pick-ups are at the Ten Acres Ranch location.  The pick-up date is subject to weather conditions.  In order to receive the best results move the bees to their permanent location or the queen to the hive within hours of arriving at your destination. All liability is waived once you leave our property with your bees.

Most honeys crystalize after some time. This does not mean the honey is bad.  Some nectars, that are reduced to honey, are more susceptible to crystalization.  Placing the honey jar in a double boiler or in a pot of hot water for an extented period of time will reverse the crystalization.  Do not place honey in a microwave or on direct heat.  Not only will you damage the nutritional properties of the honey you take a chance on burning yourself or worse.

Eggs will be picked up by appointment.  After purchase we will arrange a time for pickup at our location.  Please adhere to the agreed upon pickup date and time.  Failure to show at the scheduled time will result in the forfiture of your order with no refund.

All our products including the bees, their honey, eggs and soaps are used by us.  If we don't use it we wont allow anyone else to either.

Multiple discounts cannot be combine.
