February 2014 update on bee and nuc sellers
Citation preview
Sources of Bees for New Beekeepers - 2014
Note and Caution! The following list of locally available queens and nucs is NOT the same as a list of locally
produced queens and nucs. Some (local) sources on this list get their queens from other locations, particularly
the South, where warmer climates permit earlier queens. These queens and nucs may or may not be what
Virginia beekeepers want. Be sure you contact the supplier in advance of purchase and ask about the queen
source location, traits/resistance, and so on, to be certain they have the product(s) you want. [ = known to
use locally produced and/or resistant queens]
BANV members will have spring nucs for sale to 2014 students. We strongly recommend local nucs as part of
sustainable beekeeping. When active the program will be explained on our website: www.beekeepersnova.org.
