What do I loose? The time could be spent on other projects.... Which are many. Since I posted this a package trucker called and said a supplier failed to show with about 1/2 his load this evening as promised. He needs another 500 hundred 3's ASAP. With 1300 queens in the banks as of this evening I'm working on it...So what do you loose in the deal?

Say what? The 4-frame nucs I got in June last year all got put on plastic foundation... and they built up, and I split them when they built up to practically double the number of colonies I had, and I'm in Canada. Are you saying that in California, bees purchased after May won't have time to build up to make it through your winters...?Most if not all of these folks are not going to get any elsewhere at this point and if they do it will be way late in the season from some unscrupulous Joe who tells them bees can build in June for a winter survival....
there are plenty of local sources of bees available after the package bee rush is over for those 134 people. and a june package here is capable of building for winter survival.Most if not all of these folks are not going to get any elsewhere at this point and if they do it will be way late in the season from some unscrupulous Joe who tells them bees can build in June for a winter survival....
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CALL? Sell or move on to the rest of the year?
