Title: western WA beeks, need your feedback
Post by: oldenglish on December 11, 2008, 12:38:06 AM
Cedar Glen Apiaries in Stanwood is looking promising as my source for next years Bee's. Apart from one person who said they have not had much luck with their bees I dont know anyone who has used them.

If you have purchased Bees from them in the past please let me kow what you think about them and their Bee's, Thanks.

I've used them 2 years in a row, bought my daughter's OWC package from them last year.  Thinking about getting a package of Cordovans and another OWC this year.  They are easy to deal with on packages at pickup time. They are a little laid back and have a tendency to hold their queens in a bank too long and being a Bushy Mountain agent they can be pricey on equipment.  But for packages They are as good, or better, than anyone else in the area.  In fact I think I recommended you check them out. I also mentioned them to winenutguy.
