Wilson, I agree that the demand for packages is outstripping the supply and this may be diminishing the quality of the package bees and queens that we receive in the spring. I'm fairly new to this so my perspective is limited to the past 3 or 4 years. I'm with you though...I'd love to see NC be self sufficient when it comes to bees, or at least much less dependent on south Ga.As far as the 15 bucks for a queen goes...I think it's a screaming deal for a good queen considering the work that goes into producing reliable quality queens. On the other hand, it's a supreme rip off for so so, untested, hit and miss queens. The Born and Bred program is taking queen rearing to the masses this year. Hopefully of the 400 folks who go through the program, we'll get a few more folks breeding and rearing quality queens here in NC. I'd like to see another Born and Bred type program dealing with producing nucs to further reduce our dependence on GA. Lewis On Apr 25, 2010, at 9:14 PM, Wilson Lamb wrote:
