Description

Key Features

Saskatraz honey bees offer the following standout attributes that make them an asset to any hive:

  • High honey production
  • Solid wintering ability
  • Increased resistance to varroa and brood diseases
  • Demonstrated hygienic behavior
  • Gentle temperament 
  • No cage exchange is necessary

The Saskatraz Breeding Process

Recurrent natural selection is at the heart of the Saskatraz breeding process. This approach ensures that each bee in your package has superior varroa tolerance.

These bees come from lines that maintain prosperity even under pressure, augmenting your hive’s economic viability. You’re not only welcoming bees into your hive but becoming a part of an evolutionary journey towards healthier bee populations.

Order and Shipping Details

Our bee packages are available while supplies last. The price includes shipping. For USPS shipping, packages will require pickup at your local post office.

We’ll contact you with a shipment date and provide tracking information once the bees are shipped. Cancellations are not accepted within 14 days of the bees’ estimated ship date.

Package bee orders are prepaid and are subject to a $10 change or cancellation fee after the prepayment has been processed.

By purchasing, you’re agreeing to our Bee Policy.

Bee Insurance

There is always a risk when shipping live animals, so Mann Lake includes insurance with the purchase of every shipped package. Any package with 1 ½” or more of dead bees spread evenly on the bottom of the package is eligible for a refund or replacement. To file a claim, simply submit a photo of the shipping label and the package showing more than 1 ½” of dead bees on the bottom of the package when spread evenly across the bottom via our website Package Bee Help. We make every effort to ship replacements, if available, on the earliest ship date possible. If we are unable to accommodate a replacement, a refund will be issued within 7-10 business days of submission.

Shipping Information

The ship date selected indicates the day your packages are processed for shipping. You will receive tracking information via email. Tracking may not show movement until Monday and your bees will arrive at your local post office for pickup by mid-week.

USPS does not handle live bees the same way as regular parcels. Tracking information can be tricky with bees.

  • Orders typically reach you ahead of the USPS estimated delivery date indicated in the tracking details.
  • Tracking information might not always reflect real-time updates, be fully comprehensive, or entirely precise. There's no need to worry if it seems like your package isn't moving forward.
  • Tracking information is supplied by USPS. While we strive to assist, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of tracking statuses and do not have access to any tracking details beyond what is available on USPS.com.

Specification

  • 3.00 LBS
  • Shipped packages will ship via USPS Ground & will be held at local Post Office for pickup.
  • An unmarked queen will be included in live bee packages.

    Saskatraz pkg bees

    by Roswitha on Apr 14, 2024

    The bees arrived in excellent condition and were easy to install. We like Saskatraz bees due to their gentle nature and ability to withstand our crazy winters in the southeast. They are also good honey producers.

    I have worked with many different types of bees, but I do believe these are the most gentle ones I have ever had.

    I purchased a 3# package of Saskatraz Bees . There was a problem when I received them. Took pictures and sent to Man Lake. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. I will continue to do business with them. Honeybee Rescue

    Sassies get a B+

    by Panda Kim on Mar 11, 2024

    OHB is a ham of a company super fun answered all my questions. Mann Lake is top-shelf I ordered from them a few times. There staff is super cool Kim helped me out last year. This year I am expanding my bee empire to 3 hives (mu-ha-ha) soon I will cover the earth in Honey, Live on Mars and use this planet as a dip bowl. But first I must order my Sassies from here. Are they nice, no they do not like humans, they do not want your dirty mitts in their home. Just think of god took the roof off your home threw smoke at you and took all your canned foods. So my advice just leave them alone and they will do bee stuff. Is this type of bee better than the other kinds. We as humans (have no idea) we just smile and nod. I will say they are better than your prom-date. Or even the last movie you saw. I like these because I live and California and these bee's are so much easier to name. It's hard to come up with 1587 Russian or Italian names. These bee's do not care what you name them so your can name them like Pokémon. OK Good Talk.
