Dude probably saw how much breeders were charging for breeder queens and figured he could get similar cash.
Keeping bees since 2011.

Also please excuse the typos.  My iPad autocorrect can be brutal.

You're right, Jim.  Someone will probably buy it.

It is rather risky for this venture.   There is no guarantee that the
cell will emerge and that the queen will be mated.   I'll pass this time.   

Email or call the seller to see if these are the mite killer bees.  I'm talking about buying the
mated queen bees.
