Product Overview

Where To Buy Purebred Russian Live Package Honey Bees with Unmarked Mated Queen - Free Shipping

Immerse yourself in beekeeping with our RHBA-certified purebred Russian bees. Each package comes with 3 lbs of honey bees and a laying purebred Russian queen that has been open-air mated.

These bees do not build their colony populations until pollen is available and shut down brood rearing when pollen is scarce. This trait is advantageous in areas where the primary honey and pollen flows emerge later in the year.

Purebred Russian Bees Key Features

Here are the key characteristics that make these Russian honey bees stand out:

  • Increased resistance to varroa
  • High resilience against tracheal mites
  • Brood rearing synced with periods of pollen availability
  • Low likelihood of robbing

See our installation guide here to help get your new Russian honey bee colony settled in.

Purebred Package Bees Order and Shipping Details

By purchasing these bees, either online, by phone, via email, in person, or by mail, you are agreeing to the bee policy. Package bee orders need to be prepaid and are subject to a $10 change or cancellation fee after the payment has been processed. Cancellations within 14 days of the bee's estimated ship date will incur a 50% cancellation fee. No cancellations or changes can be made within 7 days of the scheduled shipping date.

All changes or cancellations must be submitted by email ONLY to [email protected].

These bee packages are available while supplies last. The price includes shipping. Package bees are shipped via USPS Ground Advantage and will require pickup at your local post office, so a valid phone number must be entered with every order, so that the post office can contact you. Unfortunately, due to US Postal regulations and additional shipping risk to the bees, the bees are unable to be shipped expedited via air transport (Priority Mail, UPS 2nd Day, UPS Next Day). You will receive an email with tracking information once the shipping label has been created.

Every attempt will be made to supply your bees on the scheduled date. However, numerous conditions can affect the production of package bees that are outside of anybodys control, such as weather, shipping delays, etc. As a result, we reserve the right to change pre-selected ship dates as needed. We also reserve the right to substitute a different breed of package in the event that the breed originally selected is unavailable; a refund will be issues for any difference in pricing.

There is always a risk when shipping live animals, so every shipped package purchase includes insurance. Any package with 1-1/2" or more of dead bees, spread evenly on the bottom of the package, is eligible for a refund or replacement, as long as certain criteria is met:

  • You must use the contact form found here to report death/damage within 24 hours of receipt or the insurance guarantee is void.
  • You must provide a photo of the shipping label & a clear, well-lit photo of the dead/damaged package showing more than 1-1/2" of dead bees on the bottom of the package when spread evenly. The photo must show the entire package from the side. Claims without photo proof of damage will be denied.

Every effort is made to ship replacements, if available, on the next shipping date; however, replacements are not guaranteed. If replacements are not available to ship, a refund will be issued to your original payment method. Only 1 replacement is damaged in transit, a refund will be issued to the original payment method. All refunds will be issued within 7 - 10 business days after receipt of all required documentation. We reserve the right to substitute a different breed for the replacement package.

Lappe's Bee Supply does not guarantee that you will be able to successfully establish a colony with the package. You agree that you will not attempt to hold Lappe's Bee Supply responsible for the condition fo your package bees once picked up and in your possession, or the for the survival or productivity of the hive that you establish from the package. We will not provide refunds or replacements for package bees that fail to thrive or die after receipt.

    Bee package shipment

    Posted by Patrick Sumerlin on May 13, 2026

    Shipped out on Tuesday. Picked them up at post office on Friday. Maybe 150 dead bees. Probably 10,000 live ones. Negligible amount. The Queen was was healthy and safe in her little container. Easy to put all in hive with bee-bus. Satisfied customer. Good experience.

    Incredible

    This package is one that survived this most recent brutal winter and in spite of placing feeding boxes out for them, THEY DIDN'T NEED THEM. Adorable festooning survivalists.

    This is my first package purchase from Lappe and I cannot recommend these Russians enough. I installed them late April and I am at August 8 with 2 full brood boxes and a full honey super. I'm going to have to add a third box. Crazy hard workers!
