Hello all, I am looking for a reputable Bee breeder whose stock has good traits for the Western NY area, which is a relatively up and down climate, with Winters that can rapidly shift temperature and a summer season that often gets interrupted by Monsoon rainstorms, which could ruin productivity for two or three days. I am doing an order for my local bee club, so they need to have bees available for the early season, it would be best if they offered some sort of shipping on orders, because I don't have a whole lot of gas money, but it definitely needs to be in NY. Thanks for any replies folks, and Happy Beekeeping, Cole.

Thanks Iddee,
I am very surprised there are not more recommendations to this topic.
Try this guy, http://www.coldcountryqueens.com/to-order.html (http://www.coldcountryqueens.com/to-order.html) about as local as you get around here. I cant attest to his reputation, as i have never bought from him. I buy Italians from here: http://www.draperbee.com/. (http://www.draperbee.com/.) An easy 2 1/2 hour drive from me. Good people. there is another one that sells nucs in Catt county, a friend has bought from him and was happy. If i can find his name I'll post it.

Thank you, he looks like a good breeder, and someone I would be interested to do business with.
Those are some great references for the New York area, and I could probably use them. I'd like to hear from some southwest Ohio or southeast Indiana beeks who like the local breeders.
