Title: Bee's are Here
Post by: TwT on March 10, 2005, 08:50:23 pm

well the man called me this morning to come and shake some bee's, but like the luck I have , I come down with the dang Flu bug 2 days ago and couldnt go but sent my friend to go get the packages, he said he helped them shake some bee's and man they tore his butt  up, he said the bee's got in his screen hood and all in his shirt  :lol: , I'm going to go back and shake some in a few weeks , these are going to NY, and some to ohio. well I got 5 packages today but i'll install them  in the morning, I have been helping this friend get started in bee's and i'll give him 2 of these packages because they where sold out before he ordered him some, and ill get my others in a few weeks.

Sorry TwT.... I'd normally give you some sypathy for the flu, but it sounds like you're friend needs it more.


That is a real bummer!! Guess you're lucky he's still your friend. :)

yep, I have been told that I was going to get them red italians but the supplier wasnt ready this early , the reason I know I got kona queens is that it has KONA spelled on the queens cages, lol, they are taking off have 3-5 frames aready about 80% drawn out and eggs on about 2 framesboth sides, got pollen stored around the frames. they doing good , taking about a quart jar of sugar syrup a day or a day and a half.  :D and these are kona italians, all golden queens
