I am sending the nuc order out mid-week to Jim Garrison and I need to know from you if you wish to pick up your nucs at the Williamson County Ag Center, in Lebanon at the Ward Ag Center, or in Mt. Juliet (place yet to be determined). I have a couple of folks that are willing to bring these back, but I need to know where you will be picking yours up.
Thanks for letting me know, and stay dry today,
Petra

Just to let you know, this is the final week to place and pay for your package orders on bees. They will either be delivered on Sunday, March 31 (Easter) or the following Sunday. They are a three pound package (more like four pounds) with a caged queen and the cost is $85.00 each. Let me know, and payment can be made at the March 16th workshop, or you can drop it in the mail.
Thanks,
Petra
