Hi folks: I'm looking for beekeepers with 50+ colonies within 1-2 hrs of Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri. There is a very slight chance that we may be doing some trials there in August and September. We would be looking for someone from whom we could rent colonies in sets of 3-5 for 24hr trials. In other words, we are looking for someone who could provide us with colonies that we could move onto the Military Installation for a 24 hr test (move the bees in the night before, remove the next night). Probably looking toward 12+ days of work. No colony would be used for more than 24hr. Need cost estimates and availability dates a.s.a.p. Please respond to me directly, using both this e-mail address and my alternate address [log in to unmask] I am in MT today, heading back to San Antonio as soon as things dry up a bit this week. You can call me on my cell 406-544-9007, or leave a message on my MT office phone 406-243-5648. If you call, I'll call you back, so its on my nickel. I need this information a.s.a.p. We are examining the feasability of trials in Missouri versus Croatia. Thanks Jerry Bromenshenk The University of Montana Jerry J.
