Hello, I am putting together an order for queens from Lappe’s Bee Supply (www.lappesbeesupply.com) in the next day or two. I have had good luck with them in the past and if we order three or more we get free shipping. They have Italian Hybrids, Russian Hybrids, Cordovan Hybrids, Carnolian Hybrids, and Saskatraz Hybrids that cost either $40 or $45 each. If you want them marked, they charge $4 extra. Please let me know ASAP. Currently I am ordering: 2 for me 2 for Felly Montelya 2 for John Triolo Steve

Thanks Steve, I look forward to your guidance in hiving. Should I call you when I hear from Plan Bee? Thank you Santa Fe Bee Keepers for the many responses. It will be educational to meet all of you at the next meeting.

Request for help with arrival from Plan Bee Denver...
by John Harvey 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

John Harvey here. I attended the Zoom Meeting last week but for some reason my electrons on this end would not cooperate -- selfish little things. I have a new hive and equipment, however after seeing and hearing the meeting I realize that reading books and seeing videos will not qualify me to install the queen and attendants when they arrive from Plan Bee at the end of the month. Is there anyone with the time and expertise to lend a hand to get me started? Best regards, John Harvey 505 412 5164

Bees on Juniper!
by Steve Wall 22 Mar '24

Here’s a new one on me. I’ve always thought that bees had no interest in juniper pollen. Today I saw several bees taking pollen from a juniper in my back yard. The learning never ends!

Introduction
by Susan Basquin 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

I am very happy and relieved in fact about the Sangre de Cristo beekeeping group. I kept bees for three years on an island in Lake Michigan. A friend helped me get started with a hive he no longer used and I had another hive, which I ordered in parts and put together. I'm no expert at this point but it was fun and I was delighted by the honey that seemed different each year. I'm starting again with a partner at his house where there is an abundance of fruit trees. I live in a condo with plenty of lawn and vegetation but the others in the condo would surely be very upset at having bees nearby. I look forward to the support and the information-sharing that the group will certainly provide. And I look forward to meeting people with similar interests. Sincerely, Susan Basquin
