We got our package bees on Friday, April 8. Did our first real check on Sunday the 17th. Saw almost NO sign of the queen. Hoped perhaps the rainy weather had slowed them down.
Went in again this afternoon with a friend who has bee experience. He agreed that we have NO sign of the queen. UH OH!!
We're looking for a queen asap. Spoke to Ruhl (where we got our package bees from), and they can't get us a bee before Tuesday of next week. That just seems like eons away in the life span of a bee / beehive.
Anyone in the Portland metro / close to Portland area have queens for sale? Looking for an Italian queen.
Thanks.
