IMPORTANT: Items available for purchase other than membership (i.e., bee packages, classes, etc.) will be displayed only when you are a current member and are signed in to your shop account.

2023 Nucs still available! Package and Queen sales are closed.

Please see the Terms & Conditions page for details on the terms under which the Guild sells packages and nucs.

Delivery date and location for packages: TBD, Peninsula Feed Store, 346 El Camino Real, Redwood City (map). The weather has been so bad this winter that packages are delayed until mated queens can be produced. Please do not call the Feed Store for information on the packages or the pickup.

We do not yet have a delivery date for nucs. When available, they will be distributed at Peninsula Feed Store, 346 El Camino Real, Redwood City. Please do not call the Feed Store for information on the nucs or the pickup.


  • It can take up to 72 hours to activate your membership if you paid by check/cash. Paying dues online activates your membership immediately. Plan accordingly!
  • If you can’t see/purchase dues for the current year, that means you’ve already paid for this year. If you paid dues online, you can log into your account and review your purchases in the Orders tab. If you paid by check/cash, the purchase will not show up in your online dashboard.
  • Due to both of the points above, if at all possible please pay your dues online — doing so is more goof-proof, activates your account faster, and creates much less work for our volunteers than if you pay in cash/by check.

Thank you!

Member Bob Silverstein has put together a handy FAQ about package bees, download it here: Package Bee FAQ.

Members are able to borrow the Guild’s extracting equipment, currently housed in 4 locations in San Mateo County.  Because borrowing the equipment a membership benefit, the information on how to do so is in the members-only section of the e-shop.  To view the locations, log into your shop account — the store will then display an Extractor Locations “product”.
