Yeah, you're right. Dang. Another site I looked at early had them out, but still available for pick up. This stuff is surprisingly hard to locate.

It's the time of year. Usually ordering bees/equipment/etc. takes place over the winter so you are first in line when they are available. I got my nucs this year from P.N. at the beginning of March because I ordered in early January. Last year I didn't order until February and didn't get my bees until mid-April.
The same is true of some equipment which is not as easy to get in the spring when everyone wants it.

Doak here.
If you could find a beekeeper with some yrs of experince it will be a big help. If he/she is willing to take time with you. I didn't have anyone to work with but did get some tips a local beekeeper. Plus working the net and getting 8 or 10 books, have read all half doz times.
