Title: Hey Hethen57.......

Since you are from Idaho also, I was wondering where you ordered your bees from?  I am near Idaho Falls and i haven't located a close source yet.  I understand its better to get bees from as close as possible to your local area since they would have a better chance of survival.  Thanks for any info!!-----Todd

Hey Buzzen, sorry for the delay in responding, but I had to take a trip down to Boise for a couple of days.  I purchased my bees from Tates in Spokane, WA.  They truck the up from a supplier in California and you have to pick them up at their store.  If you are not starting until next year, keep in touch with me.  I will be traveling though Idaho Falls at least a couple of times next spring (April/May) and could probably bring you some bees if you don't find a local supplier.
