Honey Bees, Anyone???

Our April 14th shipment is completely full, however, we have added another shipment on April 25th for those who are just now ordering. The cost is $130.00 per 4 lb. colony this year and a few additional bucks for having them driven from Anchorage to Fairbanks. To order bees, email me at dcogan@gci.net.
