Hello,

I found my local source from a local area beekeepers association website.
They had a list of names & numbers. The person was a pro-beek, but they take a trailer to Georgia in the spring and bring them back to fill there orders.

Good Luck,
Paul

The local group is the LI Beekeepers Club.  They are a wealth of great info & a fun group; consider joining.  One of their members usually makes an annual trek to pick up southern packages, and some others sell locally grown nucs through their website classifieds.
