Just a note, Lee Heine will be retiring from package bees (from what I understood it is going to be next year not this upcoming year and that Wilbanks will be taking over for Lee)...anyone heard any more more definite news on this?

It will be interesting to see how much of the package business gets migrated to GA bees.

Yep, so true about Lee. I have also heard the bees are not doing so well in Cal. Packages are going to be high and hard to get. If people want any from me better let me know sooner than later. Mary....I'm beginning to think all these chemical treatments are not good for the bees and they are becoming resistant. People that treat still have high mite counts, so much swarming. I attribute it to all the chemicals. I would not want to live in a house full of chemicals. Just my opinion.

I don't think Georgia producers can produce queens in late March or early in April, reliably; so they will still get Kona or California queens for those packages.
