Special, if you really know any useful info...like names and addresses for such contacts..why don't you share that with her. You seen to have been on top of this RA scandal minute by minute. Who...

Wooten queens are well thought of here in central Indiana. People in the East Central Indiana Beekeepers Association order them regularly for making splits from bees returning from CA almond...

I just hope that if he is going to pay, he isn't "robbing Peter to pay Paul." If he can pay, it will far better than any court ordered settlement with attorneys taking their 40 percent off the top.

Thanks Barry. I do remember Ted now. Given today's status with RA, Ted Kretschmann was a profit with the widom of Solomon.

Was he the guy that was wanting true feral bees for developing survivor strain genetics. Seems like he was the one claiming to have taken swarms off of mountains and brought swarms out of the...

In reference to post #316 on this thread:

Diogenes, I see that you cross posted this to the Russell Apiaries forum and picture sites last fall with the comment that I was a "BS Sock Puppet."...

mudlake, very similar to my queen experience. My order was eventually handed off to "Matthew-Nebraska after I requested a refund late in the season. This followed many attempts to contact. I had...

Has anyone out there met Matthew in person? Just curious.

50% loss so far. Obtained bees rather late in season (August). One nuc failed immediately...never found a queen...combined it with another which is surviving. I actually did receive an email from...

I don't believe this is a forum for investigation of one another. Lets not go down that road like before Special.

Not so either Special. The folks I met at RA when I picked up my nucs were also Subs.

I went to this site and filed. I would encourage others to file here too if you have had direct dealing with RA in the last year. I wasn't victimized too badly, but I'm certainly a first hand...

Specialkayme, I did meet Rob Hughes/Robert Russell in person. I traveled to MS last Fall to get my nucs. I tried to establish a pick up time for weeks, but received no response. So I just arrived...

Received my first wooden ware shipment from Mann Lake...supers and frames. Absolutely no comparison to other suppliers I've used. Mill work from ML is the finest I've seen so far. Mann Lake has...

I too waited and waited with no reply to multiple emails and letters sent to RA about queens which I ordered last November...that is until I requested a refund. Then I received and email offer to...

Welcome NDB. My first beekeeping experience was in Northeastern South Dakota. (Now living and beeking in Indiana) What region in ND?

Great idea Barry. Many of us have feared posting due to all the bashing from others.
Thanks.
