Hey Robbo,
Bees in the Northern Rivers are swarming at the moment - you might get lucky.
Look up Browns Bees, they sell packages and queens. I've never dealt with them. I read the owner had a lawsuit for illegally importing queens.
3, 4 and 5lb packages with one queen are available from October till March.
How many packages are you hoping to get? I'm interested in the price if you get a quote. :)
-
I emailed them for pricing a while ago - no reply.
-
cheers guys - will check them out.
Yea, I dont have time this year to chase swarms - The people in the post office at Casino were telling me they get package bees and queens come thru there a fair bit - just wondering where they come from?
Im after 10 or a dozen only tho.
