Nuc supplier just backed out

I had an open order for 5 nucs from a guy south of Raleigh to replace some of my winter losses. He called today and just backed out. It's a little too late in the game for me to get anything else. I've called a few places and they are already sold out (or I left messages and haven't heard back yet).

Anyone know of anyone that's still taking orders on spring nucs?

I found one person that has a few packages for later this month. I'd really prefer nucs over packages, but beggars probably can't be choosers this late in the game. If no one knows of anyone who has spring nucs available, I'll just place the order for the packages and take my chances (add a frame of brood to help them out). I probably can't wait more than a few days to place the order though. :)

Thanks.

Thanks Wally.

Larry was the first on my list to contact. He's out of packages until later in spring (almost summer).

I found a guy in Mocksville that had 3/30 packages. A decent deal, but I'd prefer nucs.
