New beekeepers in Salem

[highlandgarden]

Hi! I posted this in the general board as well, but I am in charge of helping get a hive going in the Highland COmmunity Garden this year in Salem.

We need to get a hive and order an nuc and get all the basic supplies. Who are your favorite local suppliers and what are your thoughts on getting a used hive off of Craigslist?

Thanks!!

Lori, Welcome. Here is a link to Ruhl Supply. They are in Gladstone. I like them real well. Thet have everything you will need but bees will need to be ordered ASAP. www.bee-outside.com/

It is generally not a good idea to get used equipment off of CL.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

OK Ruhl's it is for us. Thanks for your input!
