Oliverez (ohb)or something not sure of the spelling has a ad in the american bee journal. I believe they are in northern california.

I ordered my packages from Sacramento Beekeeping Supply in Sacramento. They have a web site. They should be able to place you on a list. I believe they only have Italians.
