I've just accepted a job in Colorado Springs and will be moving there in early April. I've decided to leave my 2 hives that I've overwintered with my dad and start over when I get to the springs. It seems like 2 hives is almost not worth the trouble to move and I know my dad will appreciate having them.
My main question is does anyone have a good contact for local nucs in Colorado Springs/Denver area? I would like to buy local in hopes to get them thru the next winter. I'm sure I'll need to put my name on a few sooner than later.
Also, what are the main foraging plants/trees etc, for bees in CO? And when is the main flow? Are there two flows? Being in Georgia I'm used to one flow and curious about regional keeping out west. Thanks to any advice!
