i called all of these places, only one has a working phone number and they dont have caucasians any more.

buy 3 pounds of bulk bees and put in your queen the way you would with a package. in 47 days they should all by caucasians. most places that sell packages will sell bees without a queen.

Sorry Mountainbee27. I just googled caucasian bees and came to web site that had all of those names listed. May I ask why you want Caucasian?

These are the only suppliers of caucasian bees that I have found, the sell queens only:

Homan-McMaster Apiaries

Shannon, MS 38868

Farris Homan Bee Farm

Winter's Apiary
Parrottsville, TN

I have called Homan-McMaster for prices. They have not set prices yet for 2010 and have had a bad year, so they don't know how many queens they will have available. Winter's Apiary is part of Long Creek - members on the forum have had problems recently with Long Creek.

Members have also had problems with Bolling Bee and, in fact, I don't think that they are in business anymore.

B&B Honey Farm doesn't have caucasians. They have MN Hyg. On the upside, I have only ever heard good things about them!
