I Posted early this winter about looking for local beekeepers that have hives to split or nucs to sell, my bees didnt make it through the fall due to a late swarm an a poor queen it was just a bad year from beekeeping to crops from the garden. Due to my line of work i get laid off in winter and this winter i didnt have the money to just go and order another 130$ box of bees from down south and seem like ive had trouble with the last few ive got from there never doing well in the cold of winter, so a local dealer or fellow keeper with overwintered hives is what im looking for. Im not looking for a honey harvest this year just want to star a healthy hive. I live in the carlisle/ harrisburg area.
Check with Bjorn apiaries in Dillsburg.He overwinters northern bred nucs.
