I am wanting to sell package bees and am wondering where to buy the bees wholesale. I live in North Carolina so looking for somebody here or neighboring states.
Thanks for any information.
If you want to resell packages, you can pick them up at apiaries further south. Lots of packages sold in NC come from south Georgia.
Here is a list of NC dealers: http://www.ncagr.gov/plantindustry/plant/apiary/documents/PermitToSell2010.pdf (http://www.ncagr.gov/plantindustry/plant/apiary/documents/PermitToSell2010.pdf)
Rossman's is a big Georgia dealer. http://www.gabees.com/pkg_bees.htm (http://www.gabees.com/pkg_bees.htm)
Here is a national list: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Atst3AJ3ns2wdEpyYldDVGNRdWcyYzE5ZURSY0pJTmc&hl=en#gid=0 (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Atst3AJ3ns2wdEpyYldDVGNRdWcyYzE5ZURSY0pJTmc&hl=en#gid=0)
