Darn wish you were closer. I was given a hive to use this year and we cant find any bees available. There was a shortage and you really had to order them early. I am on a list for a honeybee swarm, but have heard they are few as well.I think I forgot to tell everyone we are getting some hives put on both pieces of our property. Our friend is the WI bee queen. She goes around the country leasing out her bees to different orchards and things like that. Well, now they're back for the summer and she needs places to store them. I hope it goes well.
Excited to find out more about bees!
