What are the bee packs for and how they are composed
Bee packs are useful for strengthening your families or creating new ones
bee packs are specifically artificial swarms "naked", ie without frames , and represent an effective and healthy method in case you intend to populate a hive .
The use of packs is very common in beekeeping since inserting other individuals in your apiary serves to strengthen your bee families . In other cases, the use of nuclei and packs of bees has the purpose of creating new families starting from pre-existing nuclei.
In case you already have an established swarm, adding more individuals will create a reinforcement system for the cores you already have. Let's find out together how the packages are made of bees specifically, how they are marketed and when to buy.
Composition of bee packs
The bee packs of Apicoltura Laterza are sold in 1.5 kg formats . Each parcel contains a large number of bees, about 15,000 young workers !
The worker bees make up the colony's "workforce" and it is they who take care of the honey production , the care of the queen and any other duties within the hive.
The queen bee , on the other hand, is the only fertile individual that deals with laying eggs in large quantities. When you buy packs of bees, you will be able to choose whether to include the queen bee or just the workers.

Apicoltura Laterza has been involved for years in the production and sale of packs of bees , nuclei of bees and queen bees.
Our company gives you the possibility to choose between different types of packages according to the needs of your apiary. In this regard, you can buy packs of bees in different combinations:
- Orphaned worker bees;

- Worker bees with Queen Buckfast.
When you choose to also receive the queen bee, the latter is sent in a separate cage.
Our purebred queen bees (Buckfast or Ligustica) have the best characteristics and are selected on the basis of a specific genetic profile.
At the time of purchase, the bee packs are provided to beekeepers in a box with a mesh cover. Thanks to the integration of families through the bee pack, it is possible to prepare the swarms in the best possible way for the first available flowering.
We create our packages using highly professional methods. We apply shaking activities of the bees directly from the super, then we use specific funnels for the transfer of the same. During the final phase, we check the weight of the packages through the use of an electronic scale calibrated to the amount of bees necessary for the composition of the package.
Our sale of bee packs requires a minimum order of 5 units, with the possibility of delivery to the headquarters but also to a specific motorway exit. We send our bee packages throughout Italy but also throughout Europe through Express shipments .
When to buy bees
Usually the purchase of parcels and bee cores , takes place right from the month of March / April. It is advisable to buy bees as early as spring in order to have the whole season ahead.
We always recommend to our customers a health certificate certifying the health of the swarms.
