It is with much sadness that we announce that Queen City Bee will be closing our business over the next few months.
It has been a fun and rewarding experience over the past 8+ years, but with the ever-increasing costs of goods and shipping, it has been hard for us to keep our prices at the levels we want them to be, and in conjunction with our philosophy of quality merchandise at reasonable prices. And unfortunately, this is the case with a lot of small businesses of late.
We will be communicating a going out of business sale for some point in November, with all merchandise (woodenware and non-woodenware) 25-35% off, so please continue to check out our website for information and updates. We will also send a follow-up email at that time as well.
For now, and to start our liquidation, we are offering a 25-50% discount on our already low prices of glass and plastic honey containers (while supplies last), with free delivery within Union County and parts of Mecklenburg on orders of two or more cases. https://www.queencitybee.com/honey-containers
If you would like to place an order, please email us at [email protected] or call/text us at 704-978-8783, or order on our website. https://www.queencitybee.com/equipment
Thank you for all of your patronage and support, the great bee discussions we've had, and the many friendships that were created over the years! Gia and I will continue to be beekeepers, or as one of my old and dear mentors always said, "beehandlers"...we don't control them, they control us!
