Hey guys,

Looking to maybe buy nucs from Abby's Apiary in Bishop, GA.  Anyone know anything about them?  Good, Bad, Maybe?Huh?

I am looking for small cell bees.  Have already ordered from Don but want to get more from a second source.

Please help if you know of anyone selling small cell medium nucs.

Or even free bees would be great. But can't get them until next month when my hives arrive.

Thanks.

Since I am brand new to bee keeping I have to start somewhere so I am following Michael Bush's lead and going small cell. I will be doing small cell foundation in one hive and will go foundationless in the other just to see which I , and the bees like better. Anyway and small cell, from my understanding, is close to what the bees will build themselves if left to their own devices. I want to follow the bees lead. I think they will be happier.

Thanks

I don't know how close you are to Bailey but since he does not use chemicals on his bees, I would buy his. If the queens have the right genetics, they will take care of themselves at what ever size the cells are.

Any time Bailey. I really think that genetics is the only way to go. Is beekeeping your main job? I have aves years to go to retire and go full time beekeeping.

Have you ever worked in hospitals in Jacksonville? I have spent over 8 months or more in the hospitals here taking care of my son. Just wondering if we ever met.
