Almost forgot that I need to order bees soon. I got some commercial boxes last year but didn't have time to build them, so I'm going to build them today.

That said, I'm probably going to end up making my own double nuc / "resource hive": a split-colony system pioneered by, I believe, Mike Palmer.

Anyone ordered packaged bees online before? Any recommendations on where to order from? I plan to grow out my own colonies/nucs in the future, but I need a seed batch.

Anyone here keep #bees?
