Yes, I am talking about your local Bee Association. I have talked to many people who have had a bad experience or had their feelings hurt by their local Beekeeping Association.

We chose NUCs over packages because a package has to start from the ground up. Because there is no drawn comb for the queen to lay eggs, which can take up to 5-8 days before she has a place to lay. To make matters worse, it will take another 21 days after the queen lays before new worker bees start to hatch. Because the life expectancy of a worker bee is about a month and a half to two months the bees from the package will start to dwindle for about 26 to 28 days until the first bees are hatched.
