WHY THE ALLERGY CHARGE?
In the MotherBees kitchen each dish is finely designed and handcrafted by our Executive Chef, and takes a good amount of time to prepare. We do understand major food allergies occur, and are happy to accommodate them. However, please know that every request requires a new batch of preparation and cooking. We charge a small fee for each of your dietary restrictions so that we can take the care and time needed to make you a beautiful, nourishing meal, especially catered to your particular needs.

Once your MotherBees package is delivered to your front porch or specified area, we will confirm delivery by text and we will NOT knock unless we are instructed to. After delivery, we will not be responsible for any stolen items. Once the food leaves our facility we are not responsible for any food spoilage.

Our drivers photograph where each bag is left so we can ensure accurate delivery. At check out, please specify delivery instructions (access code, safe location to leave the bag, etc) in the notes section.

FOOD INQUIRIES
CAN I ORDER IF I’M NOT PREGNANT OR A MOTHER?

Microwave: take the lid off the BPA-safe plastic containers and heat between 2-3 minutes.
