Package bees
« on: July 19, 2014, 10:20:44 pm »
I  have been reading on some of  the forums and  seen that some  people have not gotten their packages yet !    I will be glad to ship  a few more  2 lb  packages. If any of u guys need any they are $80plus shipping  is  $15  Total  is $95 per package.  We normally ship on Monday and Tuesday ....Thanks

Just came across this post. if you have all drawn comb a package may build up enough for winter but a 3 to 4 Lb size would be better. at this time of year buying a hive like Wade & Marion did would be a better option. Just my opinion for anyone living where we get a winter. if you reside in the southern states, ones that don't get frost it would be OK to start a package now.
