Welcome! Britnay!
I am a lover of native bees. Yes, I *guess* you could have a bee hive delivered...but what is your ultimate goal? Do you want to harvest honey or do you just want bees that will pollinate your plants? Bee boxes are a great way to encourage solitary bees (those that don't live in hives). They are the most beneficial bees in the landscape. As Melanie pointed out, the Bee Friends thread is chock-a-block full of information on this subject.
