Title: Mannlake packages.
Post by: beehappy1950 on May 11, 2013, 10:53:22 pm

I didnt order packages this year as I went with nucs. I heard that Mannlake cut packages back from 3 to 2 pounds to be able to fill more orders. They got 10.00 off on their packages but is that quite right?  :roll: Anybody else experience this?

If I ordered a 3 lb. package and they switched to a 2 lb., I would demand my money back and go elsewhere for bees. With the problems we are having, 2 lb. is not enough bees to get a colony off to a GOOD start.
