TERMS OF SALE AGREEMENT:
Submitting an order with payment for the purchase of honeybee nuc(s) from Boston Honey Company, Inc., you understand and agree with the following:
Pick-up date: Beekeeping is an outdoor activity, and it is subject to weather conditions. Therefore, a change to the pick-up date may occur (once we set the date for delivery, we will do our best to keep it). Pick-up updates will be posted on this page, our Facebook and Instagram pages as well. We use sustainable mite control strategies to keep varroa numbers low; small hive beetle may be present but will not cause harm to the bees in our climate (New England).
Nuc installation: Installing our Nucs into older comb or in dead-outs (unknown cause), you may be exposing the bees to brood diseases that will affect colony health, and is not the responsibility of Boston Honey Company, Inc.
Nuc Guarantee: Prior to delivery, we inspect every nuc for quality and queenright. If, at installation, you find that the Nuc is queenless, or if you are not satisfied with the nuc, re-pack the 5 frames with bees in the box provided, and return it to us, so we can inspect it (AT INSTALLATION; NOT DAYS OR WEEKS LATER. ALSO, DO NOT SHAKE THE BEES OUT AND RETURN JUST THE FRAMES). You must call us before bringing the nuc back: 508-429-6872.
Cancellation Fee: There is a $25.00 cancellation fee.
