I am a registered beekeeper (BEES-PERMIT7446004274). We request OMFRA to inspect our yard every spring (in April) before our first sale of the year as a form of quality control. If any unforeseen pest or disease issues prevented the sale, your payment would be returned to you, and I would assist you by fulfilling the order by other trusted local beekeepers.
