Hello everyone,

I am looking into what it takes broker bee packages and nucs for 2013. I would be interested in peoples experiences, contacts, methods for selling bees. Any info would be great.

Thanks.

I have been involved with several club/bee school group purchases. In general there is no profit to be made as we are charging the same price as what we get from the seller. Add to that we do not markup for gas, time, or other expenses to pickup the bees. We are providing a service to new beekeepers that goes along with our bee school.
