Different Delivery options
- Flat back for shipping - Note this is the same price as fully assembled ($785) because I assemble and then disassemble to ensure that everything works, so a flat packed option is actually more labour for me.
- Delivery of assembled hive within Greater Sydney - $80
- Delivery of assembled hive including establishment and installation of bees - $200
- Delivery within 500 km radius of Sydney - We'll consider this on merit. We have a camper and love a good excuse for a road trip. We also enjoy meeting like minded people so if you can offer a good experience we might be up for it.
