Spring NUCs in North Alabama?

[Docking]

Would there be anyone near NW Alabama that would be selling a couple NUCs this spring. I just had both of my hives stolen this past week and I would like to start with a maybe 5 frame NUC this spring.

STOLEN!?!? this is not a problem that I have ever thought of in my area; when you replace the hives, what is your plan to keep the theives at bay? I've heard of people using bottomless hives because they are much more difficult for theives to close up for transport. If I was anywhere near you, I would love to help you out, but I'm sure you can find bees closer than New York ;)

thanks Way... I got in touch with Hal Green.. He is selling NUCs. He uses SMR queens... They will not be placed in the same place. we have a place on the way from work and I can place them behind a 6ft fence with a lock if need be.
