The e mail went out February 24th. Please pm me with your e mail address. If we had it wrong we can correct it. Only 1 came back undeliverable and that was because of a spam blocker.

The e mail stated that we would have drawings for 2 packages of Italian bees, that this was open to 1st time students at the 2010 GCBA Beginning Beekeepers school, and that you needed to be present at our March 9th meeting to participate in the drawing and to win if your name was drawn.

These packages are part of the Brushy Mountain package order tentatively scheduled for March 27th.

We do not have any word on a delay of delivery, but won't know that until early in the week of pick up when we are to check with Brushy. From what we are hearing from bee producers in NC and other places, many are delaying delivery of bees because of the cold winter and delays in building up bee numbers.
