I consider Reg Wilbanks one of the TOP queen breeders in the country.  He is
4th generation, totally honest, and dedicated to providing first class bees.
Don't judge anything by price, but if you must, Wilbanks prices are right in
line with other quality breeders.
I say all these nice things about Wilbanks, yet I buy only minor supplies from
him, because I switched from Italians to Carniolans 49 years ago since I think
Carnies give me a better honey crop in the very early nectar flow (april-may)
of central Maryland.
I have been to Wilbanks apiaries, and know him personally, and he does certain
management techniques that ALL breeders should but don't.
Try him, but it is VERY, VERY LATE in the year to expect any decent delivery
dates.  Orders should be put in December or January.
George Imirie, 65 years with bees in Maryland
