Question: Is there a demand for nuc's this time of the year?
Option 1: yes, myself or others would like to buy a nuc
Option 2: No, to late in the year for that

What is it like in your area, are people still looking to buy bees?

Its late but a Good Nuc would still sell if it was in driving range.
Packages are still needed in this area.

I'm just waiting for my last two packages to arrive tommorow. I voted no but I suppose that there are still some late comers that could want a package or nuc or two. Most sellers are out for the year. Least that is what I found when I started to look for a couple extras late.

If that article in BC was right, you could buy nucs at the end of July and still get them through the winter...he's in Michigan and splits to nucs with two frames of brood each. Seems that if you have the time to care for them, the end of July may be the limit.

To me it seems a little slower than last year. Not sure if demand is actually down.
