Dean,
        I would enjoy coming down & checking out your operation, this summer
though. I am up to my neck in work getting hives in order for pollination.
Where do you live? What do you use for mating nucs? I am interested in using
baby or micro nucs because I understand it is much easier to find the queen,
fewer bees, etc.
 
God Bless,
