Hey, Ken, I'm so sorry about your lost package bees! I hope you get a refund! There are other local vendors of nucs in Oregon besides the commercial apiary that TVBA buys our annual bulk order from. TVBA Board members James Hagerman and Steve Gomes may be offering nucs at this time of year, and I've heard of members purchasing nucs from Starr Farms in Pleasant Hill. https://www.starrfarms.net/index.html And you could sign up on the swarm list on our website for the free bee hunt and capture adventures if you like!

We always plan to use up all the NUC's so finding an extra TVBA NUC that was not claimed is not likely--after all someone paid for them. You can contact Foothills and purchase another, but you would have to drive there to pick it up unless you can work out something with them.

Apparently, UPS has lost my three Oliveira packages that left Sacramento Monday morning. I have three deeps ready for bees. Are there any nucs left from last week?
