Welcome. Are you picking up your nucs in Farmington?

No.I was not aware of that possibility. Ordered mine from suppliers in state but it will be a much longer drive. Wish I had known. Is it to late?

Looks like it. Keep an eye on this guy. There is a guy in Dexter that raises queens if you need any later in the season.

Thanks . I'll keep in touch with the supplier. There may be cancellations or a waiting list. This would have been soooo! much simpler . 3 1/2 hours simpler. I might have been late anyway. I just started planning this about 1 1/2 months ago.

Isabee's in South County is another. There was another bee supplier in Festus area, but he experienced a huge colony collapse this fall according to the local bee club.

There is a good club in you area, look them up. They will be of great help or drive to Jackson for ours. It meets every 4th Tues nite at 7.
