You can put his contact info in the trading post forum, or better yet, invite him to join the forum.

I might have posted this before, but if queen cells are so fragile in there last stages, how can they be shipped through the mail? I have seen adds for queen cells. Just wondering?? Jack

They aren't fragile the last stage. They are fragile from capping to day 12 or 13. They can be shipped overnight on day 14 or 15, if individually packed. You may receive virgin queens.
