Not sure what the price is around your way, but in PA they are going for around $80.00, especially if you wait until the last minute. I did hear people getting them for around $65.00 shipped but those orders were in months ago.
paid $54. last year, and $63. this year from same supplier. Pkgs are hard to find in the south this year and most people are sold out till May.One friend of mine lost 9 colonies over the winter to starvation due to the extreme cold winter. Have heard of some pkgs going for $80. It's a sellers market this year.
Wow, bet that price make splits look good. I would hate to loose a 200 dollar swarm. How do you guys ever get a start of bees? I would probably take better care of them if I had that much invested.
Looks like they still have some available if you can make the LONG drive down and get them across the border. (are there regulations regarding bees crossing the US/Canada border?)
Whoa! $200 for packages in New Brunswick. I'm wintering nucs in the wrong place. I should move to NB and set up a nuc wintering operation. Nobody there does? Where's my passport?
