Bee Packages from Strachans
I called Strachan's today and ordered their last three packages for the club for pick up April 19th. The cost was $39.50 per 3LB package before the deposit for the container.($5.00)
Whoever is interested let me know. I'll put your names into a "hat" and pull a "winner".
Let's do this soon so those that want bees can call else where. The "winner" can choose one, two, or three.
Not many bees to be had so hurry!

As much as I like lotteries, and bees, and lotteries where you can win bees, we have no need for a package at this time.
Thanks, Philip for your efforts, and
Good Luck, Club Members!
add my name to the drawing for bees !!
This is terrible news.
Do we have a plan B ?
Swarms are starting to sound better and better.

The winner gets to buy the bees. The only retail option is to shop around. After Bee Happy, who isn't selling any bees this year, Strachan's had the best prices.
Swarms are a possibility but it is still a good idea to replace the swarm queen with a apiary breed queen which costs a bit. They won't bee ready for three months so swarms would be a plan "A" and Strachan's a plan "B". Tom, from the San Mateo club is going to pick them up, so that is another consideration. Most places don't ship bee packages, just queens.
Hi - I am a new member. Was at the last meeting. I am being given three empty (and treated) hives by a friend and I need bees. I also need a location for them and want to get into the GG Park if possible. Please put my name in the hat.
