Happy New Year everyone!
We wanted to give an update on our timeline for queen cells, mated queens, and nuc availability for this year.
Right now, we are entirely focused on getting as many hives to California as possible. We should be shipping them out towards the end of January. Once the hives are shipped, we can begin going through our remaining colonies (probably in February) and see what we can pull from them. Until we can go through all the hives, we can’t know how many queens or nucs we will be able to produce or when. Cells shouldn’t be an issue. We haven’t decided on pricing or availability yet and won’t make that decision until sometime in February after we work through all the hives, and we know how many hives made grade in almonds. We also won’t be able to take reservations until then either. We will take reservations through our website same as last year.
Our best guess on a potential timeline depending on weather and the hives:
We start grafting cells mid-February or early March and have them ready to sell early March or mid-March.
Mated queens will be ready to sell late March or early April.
Nucs will be ready to sell in the first half of April.
These are conservative estimates based on last year’s numbers. If it’s possible to get anything ready earlier, we will try but these are dates that we feel confident about making the bees available.
We’ll update with more details as we get later into the year.
Thank you!
