Hey Deptford NJ!! My wife is from there!
I met a bunch of guys through the Delaware Beekeepers Association that can provide me with equipment and swarms and Nucs. I will probably never buy package bees again, knock on wood.
Our last meeting on Tuesday was a class on how to grow your own Queens.
Join the NJ version of that.
Small world

Deptford is crowded now

Thanks for the input folks. Just gathering resources for later use. I am setting up my last hive ( 2007) with 22 frames of SC foundation ala The Michael Bush Way. Seems I really don't need a SC queen to start afterall
