Hi Keith,
 
The "standard" price around here (NW Washington State) seems to be about $30.00
for 3lbs and a queen if they're picked up, or $45.00 for the same if they're
mailed to you.
 
Our bees come from northern California.  There are no suppliers here because
it's too cold.  You should avoid bees that are shipped a long distance; this
is very hard on them.
