Has anyone checked out the prices for 2003 queens and packages. They raised them up about as much as honey has gone up. This just makes me mad as can be. Do not get me wrong I am all for making a fair dollar but this is out of control. I raised more queens last year then I could use it is not that hard. Has demand gone that high? This is going to discourage beggining hobby beekeepers from trying this wonderfull hobby.

Surveyor,
Im planing to call McCary tomorrow to get another package or two. Such a nice man and his wife is a peach too. Real Southern hospitality there. We are really taking a beating here in Ohio a friend of mine lost all his bees, this weather in Ohio this year isn't fit for man or beast(bees).
Respectfully yours
Walt
