Package Bees

[GSF]

Thanks Rob. Yeah I have some on the way. The funny thing is a couple of those hives I was talking about actually has queens in them now. Maybe the others were v queens that got starved out?

most likely those were the queens that lost the battle.  who did you order queens from?  i'm debating on whether i want to buy some for splits or raise my own.  i'm so far behind on everything right now buying seems like the easy way out.

Hey Gary! I got tired of spending $100 a pop on packages that I wound up loosing. I personally am having better luck with feral bees. Just my two cents.

try to find local sources for nucs. if you can put in some orders now for over-wintered nucs for next spring. with a nuc you know the queen has been accepted. you already have 2-3 frames of brood & 5 drawn out frames so you're way ahead of the game compared to pkgs.
