I am going to order packages. I spoke to a guy who does not transport his bees and apparently he got CCD anyway. He recommended not to get nucs because whatever it is, if its in the comb, honey, pollen, wax or whatever, you may get more than you bargained for. No, he did not have bees for sale so there was no benefit is this advise for him and it makes sense to me anyway.
If you have some nucs, let me know, I may still get some, but Im going to go ahead and order some packages from my usual source.
Thanks
