Check this out. Northern States Queen Breeders Association
www.nsqba.com
I've bought nucs from Mr. Thomas with good results. I also ordered
queens from Warren Miller, but he ran out this last summer. Was getting
ready to order queens from a fellow in NY state, but other things
cropped up.
Hopefully in conjunction with another beekeeper, I will be doing small
scale bee breeding in Central PA.
I have a newly found major back problem and will not be able to do honey
or large scale projects like I had planned in my retirement in a couple
of years. Nature is assisting me in downsizing what all with between
bears, late fall robbing, and a poor honey crop. Sad to say wasn't able
to attend to electric fences or supplemental feeding. So far I've lost
better than half the colonies. Yesterday I counted twenty alive. Will
probably come out with between five or maybe ten colonies at winter's
end. Our club meets tonight. Perhaps I might be able to enlist extra
help for emergent feeding this week or next to make the surviving
numbers higher than ten.
In Harmony,
Alf

I am concerned about buying southern queens that might not be as hardy."
