Hi I'm Mark And I'm picking up my first package on bees in a week come Saturday. I'm way up in the mountains of NC in Yancey county. I've had my hive put togeather for 5 years now waiting till I had time to drive out and get my bees.

Welcome, 5 years? Things are slow in the Carolinas.

Mostly I always forgot to call and reserve them until after they were out. Local pickup only here and its a pretty long drive.

Welcome,
Can't imagine such a long wait. You're more patient than I am.

Beesource is great for asking questions, researching past discussions or just reading the posts. Check out the How To Start and Resources sections.

My bee order got canceled. Something about the bad weather here in NC. I found anouther place that has pickup in mid May that had some avalible. Hopefully This one will work out for me.
