Foraging for Bees: 2024 Bulk Package and Nuc Order
We explored several options and decided to make this year’s purchase from Henry Storch (OSO Honey Farms). For our paid-up members purchasing through CCBA, they are available at $155 for a three pound package, $180 per five frame deep nuc. The nucs include five frames of bees, at least two frames of capped brood, one frame of open brood, and 2 frames of honey/pollen. Henry will mark queens for an additional $10 (each) for those who want this service. Henry’s target date to deliver our nucs and packages is May 19th.
Steve Niles (available through our email address: centralcoastbeekeepers@gmail.com) is coordinating the club purchase. Please provide him your orders as soon as possible to ensure your bees are reserved and Henry can plan his work. For our members, the April 24th meeting is the hard final date for orders.
Purchasers will be informed of delivery logistics as the date approaches.
