I need to purchase or rent about 10 more hives for my orchard for mid to late April. Mites have taken a heavy toll on bee keepers in the area and hives seem to be unavailable. Another bee keeper has a contract for 100 hives near Clovis, New Mexico for apple pollination, but can furnish only 50. He needs 50 more. Is there anyone around NM, CO, AZ, TX, OK with bees for sale? You can contact me at [log in to unmask] or call 1-505-864-1621. Ed Costanza
