Nuc arrival?

Kurt,

Any word from NUC land?
Is there a projected date, an estimated date, a guess, a SWAG, a good feeling as to when the nuc's may arrive?
Not complaining just a little anxious.

Thanks,

Ski

Ski, I don't see how you have made it this long. I have two colonies and I am dying to get another one. All I can think about is making splits so I can have more bees to work. Kurt, what about the info from the state on our test. Has anyone heard anything yet???? I wish I had started beekeeping when I was little. This has got to be one of the most fun things in this life.

I have been very busy with remodeling the house.

But its been too hard I could not stand it any more so I bought a nuc that was about to swarm. Got a deal I could not refuse.

No news on the nucs. It seems as if we are almost a month early from the original date. Will let you know when I hear something.

Don't look for the test scores anytime soon.
I just sent them in a week or so ago.

My guess is at least another month.

Kurt,

Thanks for the info, somehow I misunderstood and thought the delivery was going to be around the first week in April.

Thanks,

Ski

Well it was supposed to be the first week of May, but...
I just received word that we should be getting them during the April 9th week.

So we are only looking at another week or so now.
The specifics depend on when Emerson and James will be taking the drive.

This cold snap could apparently delay the arrival of the nucs.
Will update when I know more.

The nucs have been made up, but apparently are unable to be inspected.
Perhaps we will have them at the end of the week!
It is all weather dependant now!

Kurt, any new word on the arrival of the nucs?

OK.
Just got word that the nucs should be at the barn kitchen around 1:00 pm Saturday!
Unless we get hit by a snowstrom or something.
