My wife called back in the winter and reserved a nuc from this company. The website still says they'll start be be available in late May. It's mid-June and we haven't heard anything from them. We've called, and the phone always goes to voice mail. They have not responded to email, or the voice mail that I left. I ordered queens from them last year, and they delivered promptly. I'm more frustrated by the lack of communication than I am by the delay with the nuc. Has anyone else had any dealings with this company this year?

Shortly after posting this I called again and got right through. He's got our nuc, and says he called a few weeks ago and left a message for us. I am ever more suspicious of how reliable phones and voice mail are. Regardless, this just goes to reinforce my superstition about getting the outcome that I want shortly after complaining publicly about something. I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket and then complain on a forum about never winning now. All is well. Carry on.

From the dealings I have had with Tim you can take his word to the bank thats my 2¢

another vote of confidence for Tim, I've only had good dealings with Honey Run and I would recommend them to anyone.

Honey Run Apiaries has never let me down. I order pretty much all of my queen rearing equipment from them. Two thumbs up for the in stock listings next to each product. I love knowing what I am ordering is available and ready to be shipped!

I too, have had only good experiences with Tim. I have found him to be honest and reliable.

I e-mailed them twice 4 weeks agao and 6 weeks ago to get some queens off of them this summer. No response either time. I'm not going to beg to buy stuff from them, there are other queen producers in Ohio. Honey Run Apiaries, NO THANKS!

Tim is a really hard guy to get ahold of, but he's super nice, knowledgeable, and he's always responded to my inquiries within a couple days. I picked up my nuc last night, and it was definitely worth the wait! I got a medium super absolutely jam-packed full of bees; not the 5 frame nuc you get most places. Keep trying; the quality is worth it.

I received three queens from him yesterday. I agree his communication could be better such as confirming your order. However I have to give him credit for shipping the queens before he even had his paypal money. Curious to see how well the queens perform.
