does anyone in the SF bay area need a queen??

[buzzbee berkeley]

hi all,
i recently thought my hive was queenless. i decided to order a queen from Hawaii and try requeening but when i went up there today i found lots of brood! at this point the hive was broodless for about a month so i can only assume that that it is a laying worker and i really don't have the time or energy to do anything about it.
so if anyone out there needs a new queen and can come pick it up in berkeley CA, i have one and its all yours for whatever price you can afford. i paid $42 for her and she needs a home ASAP. please email or call me if you'd like to have her.
thanks

You probably do NOT have laying workers as the queen does stop/slow laying after the summer nectar dropoff, this allows for the hive to be relatively brood free...allowing the bees to clear the varroa mites...then in 3-4 weeks she starts to buildup her winter brood that will be the heaters and spring foragers when the weather warms up.

Where did you get the queen from, if you don't mind me asking.
