It may be a bit early yet but is the W G Bee Farm Global Pattie person scheduled for Guilford or Randolph county bee meetings?

I thought he gave an informative presentation and a buy on the patties. Any reason or just the price of fuel and the Loooooong drive.

I haven't set up any speakers for Randolph yet. Frank may be one of them, but I won't be contacting anyone before Dec.

Ah ok thanks Wally.
IF you do line him up I hope I can attend.

We rarely have the same speaker more than once a year and if we do they are multi-topical.
Since Frank only speaks about bee nutrition (that I am aware of), I have no plans to re-schedule any time soon.

Are there going to be any pollen patty sales guys coming to Randolph or Guilford any time soon?

The best way to get anything done is to do it yourself. :D

Wally you may be right!
But there are a lot of recipes out there so I think I am going to purchase some global patties from Ernie (below) and also try some small batches of some different recipes to see if I can find something I like, is cost competitive and will allow the bees to live long and prosper.

I think he is located in MO.
(the $13.50 soon to be $13.95 is the post office "if it fits it ships" any where in the contiguous US program.)

This company is also listed as a dealer. They may be cheaper or more expensive. I got it off the global site. I've never dealt with them.

I noticed Virginia Bee Supply on the global site as well and considered driving but its over 200 miles one way. I have called but have not talked to any one yet.
I have placed my order with Ernie because he has made it easy to do business.
I will continue to follow up with Virginia Bee Supply just for information.

Virginia Bee Supply called back this morning (2/18) very apologetic about the amount of time lapsed before returning calls. They have had a rough time with the snow collapsing buildings,..... anyway.
He is roughly the same price as Ernie and also uses the USPS "IF it fits it ships" program.
