Looking for someone locally (Randleman/Greensboro) who sells buckfast queens

Thanks for the offers. I borrowed suits and veils from John at Triad Bee Supply. Everyone that saw the bees were amazed and thrilled. Even a little four yr old boy.

Need two nukes or just need some bees and queens for two hives. Thanks.

I am thinking that either decision I make will work, but I have a gut feeling that letting nature take it's course is best. Thanks for the help. Wish me and "my girls" luck!

I will have to look to see if the cells are empty. Being a beginner I did not know what to look for. I just saw the queen cells and assumed they were making a new queen. But, my thoughts are with yours; maybe the bees know something we don't about the queen that is in there now. And, as my first men...

I am a beginner beekeeper. My package bees and the queen were installed Mar.30, 2012. Four days later when I checked the hive the queen was released and everything looked good. During inspection yesterday everything was beautiful and the queen was laying eggs. However, the worker's have several supe...
