I want to advertise to our club that I will have around 10 (or 15 maybe) extra queens come April 14th from Heitkams.
Half with be Carnolian, the balance Italian mutts.
Pat has told me that their spring queens are some of the best he raises all year. I have seen this to be true some years -- great big healthy looking queens. Of course it depends on the year, but in general I have been pleased in the queens I have received for some time.

Hello Todd...I'd be interested in one of the Italian mutts. What's your price?
Thanks,
Samuel

Do you still have a queen availiable? I just need one so I can leave a nuke for the farmer of my summer pasture. He has a few "farm" trees that I would like to leave a few bees for him to have pollinated.

The queens arrive April 15. I plan to use as many as I can, and some people have already spoken up. BUT, I am also trying to keep my hive numbers to around 115 at the most. If I have extras, I will now by late on the 15th or the 16th.
You will need to call me about then (503) 357-8938. I do not know the price -- I am guessing around $17 which is the cost of freight plus queens.
Mating weather in California has been good. A little rain two days ago, otherwise good.

Just letting folks know that I am most likely going to use all the queens. So I am going to say just that, all queens are gone. Sorry that I don't have extras.
Next year, If you really are interested, we can do a group order... I just order however many extra people want. From here on out, i will get my queens on the 15 of April. I think this is a good time -- it works for me anyway.
I may be wrong, but for the last few years you couldn't' just call up and say "I want 40 queens on April 15". They'd say, sorry, the earliest available is May something. So I feel good that I finally have this earlier date.
