Below lays out what you have agreed to by participating in our bee rental policy. Under the return policies you will find a legal rental agreement document.

Return Policy:
We will contact you by email at least two weeks before it is time to return your bee kit, and you will have a 30-day period to mail your bees back to us in NW Washington State. You are responsible for checking the email that you provided to us for return dates and locations. If you need a replacement return label, contact us at [email protected]
We are able to offer our bees at a discounted price because we are able to grow more bees to work with more farms in the western U.S. If you do not return your bees within the 30-day return window, your credit card will be charged the full retail value of the bee kit ($150). We do not want to do this, but when the bees are not returned, their health is jeopardized, and we lose bees.
Bee Guarantee:
We clean and inspect every single cocoon that we raise and so we do our very best to provide the highest hatch rates but as bees are a part of nature, we cannot guarantee the hatching or nesting behavior of the bees. We do not provide refunds for bee kit rentals or for no-show reservations.
