Title: Looking for Russians in NC (within 100 miles of Charlotte)
Post by: mjcoia on March 03, 2009, 10:59:26 AM
Just getting started, and would like to start out with 2 or 3 hives worth of russians.  If anyone has them or knows where I can pick some up now or in the next couple of months, please let me know.  Thanks

Chuck had a lot of problems last year, and some who paid last year still haven't gotten their bees. I would be leary of ordering from him unless I were going to pick them up and pay on the spot.

 I have used Ray Revis in Marion for some queens. He sells nucs also and he is good to deal with.
