Hi everyone, been lurking quite a while and now I have a space to put hives in next year so I've got some questions to ask. First thing does anyone know if there is any kind of an organization for beekeepers in the Quad-Cities area in Illinois?

Also I’m assuming it would be better to pick up package bees in the spring than to ship them. Is there a close place to the Quad Cities where I could order and pick up the packages?

Thanks for any help in advance and for all of the interesting reading I’ve enjoyed so far.

The name threw me for a second, I thought, hmmm, I didn't post this morning... I don't see my name very often, well never in the forums. Find a local beekeepers school, we have a great one in March. www.swoba.org
