I will start getting deliveries at the end of March. I usually go until first week of May for package bees. In past 3lb packages have been very generous. Ranging between 3 and half pounds to 4lbs. Nice mated queens. Nucs start middle of April. They will be 5 frames of bees, brood, pollen, honey. I will also have some mid May. They will come in a reusable box with great ventilation, easy to feed if needed. No deposit. You keep for splits or swarm catcher. 10 frames splits will be ready Mid May. Bees, brood, honey, pollen frames, top cover, bottom board and 6 5/8 box. The weather is crazy everywhere. Delivery dates depend upon weather. Hopefully, we get some type of normalcy soon. Pick ups are at my farm in Brooklyn, WI . 13 miles southeast of Madison, 6 miles from Oregon, Stoughton, Evansville. 3lb package with mated queen is $140.00. 5 frame nuc with box no deposit on box is 190.00. 10 frame split includes bees, box, bottom board, cover 275.00 Classes will start in Pavilion on my farm and end up in bee yard going through bee hives. Lunch will be served and however long it takes everyone to get a full grasp of what is going on inside the hive, how to make splits, how to spot queen, eggs, etc will be on demonstration. 90.00. I would think a half a day to 3/4 of a day to plan for. Check bees when you can. I have a feeling bees are going to be in high demand and short supply this year. You can contact me at 608-575-2249. Starting to take orders now. Mary
