Join Dawn Cogan in ordering from a reputable supplier.
The packages are from Sacremento almond fields. They are 4-pound packages with a single queen, arriving mid-April. The date will be set as we get closer to the delivery. The final price to Fairbanks is $185.00 if you order after 2/7/18. These are being brought directly into Fairbanks by me and two other veteran beekeepers. We now have a local co-op to help local farmers/beekeepers rather than keep relying on outside suppliers who continue jacking the price up. The goal is to keep quality up and prices as low as possible. Dave Greer has kept bees in Fairbanks for over 30 years. He has run as many as 50 colonies in a season. Dale Lupton runs about 30 colonies every year, has wintered his bees over and has been keeping bees for about 10 years here in Fairbanks. He has been ordering bees from this new supplier for several years now with great success. Last year one of my students ordered a package from Dale and I helped hive the bees. She harvested 7 gallons of honey from bare foundation this fall (from out off Nordale Road).
We are bringing in Italians and Carniolans.
First come, first serve.
To order call Dale Lupton at 907-978-1455. Payment can be made by check, money order, or credit card.
