All,
Joe Walsh is helping Tim Wilbanks with bees this weekend, and he informed me that someone backed out of a large order and Tim has (100) 3 lb. packages of Buckfast bees available. $126.00/package. If you would like to purchase some packages you can call Joe at 262-894-1652. Tim has the bees in the Sullivan area and Joe will be taking bees to his home in Watertown. Pam and/or I will be meeting Joe this weekend to pick up the club bees (and some for ourselves now), so we can transport bees to the 8-miles-north-of-Berlin area. So basically there's three pickup points possible, but the decision has to be made today. If you want to hook-up with Joe, or Pam or I, let us know what we're to pick up for you. Work with Joe on financing. On the subject of club bees. Tim is giving the club one package, and we will be purchasing a second package. The club approved $115.00 for this purchase so the balance can be my donation. Pam and I will set up two ECWBA hives at the Rushford Meadery and Winery, and any honey realized will be sold at the Meadery with proceeds going into the ECWBA coffers. Additionally, I will be purchasing two screened bottom boards for the hives at $37.50 each which I'm willing to donate (it's all about the bees), and supplying 10 frames with foundation from my stock to get started. Pam has 10 frames ready to go from the college supplies. This is all happening fast, but that's the way it usually seems to go. Surprise! They're here! And it's cold. Another adventure begins. Gerard
