I am toying with the idea on making up some Kenya top bar mating boxes.
Before I  plunge into the project I was wondering if someone on the list
might know of a supply house, prices, phone and or address of commercial
mating nucs.  I would tentatively want around 50 and it would be quicker
and easier to buy them then spending a couple of days in the garage.
 
Seems I recall seeing some made of cardboard dipped in wax or similar type
material as postoffice boxes if I make my own they may be based on a queen
rearing project we did in Peace Corps in N Africa, mini boxes with four top
bars.
 
Seems to be a bit of interest in  local (NE USA) Queen production.  I would
like to have a few queens on hand over the course of the summer for
replacement of failures with long term interest in bees adapted to local
conditions.
 
Please E-mail me  or post up
