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!
