Chilean Bee Packages | ALBERTA PICKUP
Chilean Bee Packages
Get an early start on your 2026 expansion with imported bee packages from Chile. These packages come with 1kg/ 2.2lbs of honeybees and a Carniolan Queen from Chile. Chilean packaged bees are highly valued by Canadian beekeepers because they provide a "seasonal hack" by leveraging the Southern Hemisphere's climate.
Package quality guaranteed on pickup. Purchaser assumes all responsibility once packages leave the airport. All orders will need to be picked up at Calgary Airport.
Core Advantages
Early Season Availability:
· Chilean packages typically arrive between the first week of March and mid-May. Because Chile is in its late summer/early fall when the Northern Hemisphere is in spring, they can provide fresh, young worker bees and mated queens weeks before local stock is ready.
Rapid Population Buildup:
· Starting as early as March allows the colony extra time to build up its population and draw out wax comb. This "head start" is critical for maximizing honey production during the primary summer nectar flow.
Genetic Quality (Carniolans):
· Most Chilean imports use Carniolan genetics because of their cold weather foraging, gentle temperament and efficient overwintering ability.
Cold-Weather Foraging:
· They fly and forage at lower temperatures than Italian bees.
Gentle Temperament:
· They are known for being docile and easy to manage.
Efficient Overwintering:
· They are highly successful in surviving harsh Canadian winters.
Chilean packages will be arriving the 2nd week of March until the 2nd week of May.
Occasional delays in pick up times or days may occur due to flight delays.
