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."
