frame of capped brood and/or queen?
by Annallys Goodwin-Landher 13 May '21

I have a rather small hive that's not growing in size. Can use a frame of capped brood and willing to purchase a queen. Call Zia Bees and they won't have queens until June. I'm unsure the hive will hold on that long. Thanks Annallys 919 933-9109

FW: GoFundMe Campaign to help Craig Noorlander
by Mark J. Sommer 06 May '21

06 May '21

Hello Sangre de Cristo Beekeepers, In case you did not receive the below email, I’m passing it on to you here. Craig has supported the beekeeping community by always being there to lend a hand, give advice, provide a queen and has been on the Certified Beekeepers Committee for as long as I can remember where he supports students with his know-how, mentoring in the OSVC Apiary, and driving out to mentor them when needed. He’s been known to crisscross this state to help out. He now finds himself having to deal with a terrible loss of bees, finding out that overheating insurance is no longer part of what insures his financial investment. I know he feels horrible about the losses as it’s so tragic to see so many dead bees and to the losses to those customers that placed orders and couldn’t get their bees. He deserves my support and I hope you see it that way as well. Thanks, ~Mark From: New Mexico Beekeepers Association <membership.nmbka.icloud.com(a)send.mailchimpapp.com> Sent: Thursday, May 6, 2021 11:09 AM To: mark.nmbka(a)somware.com Subject: GoFundMe Campaign to help Craig Noorlander <https://mcusercontent.com/ad273a1c86937b09e594d10af/images/75379497-968b-4d…> <https://nmbeekeepers.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad273a1c86937b09e59…> GoFundMe for Craig Noorlander Help Craig Noorlander Recoup His Losses Craig Noorlander performs a vital annual service to New Mexico beekeepers, both new and experienced. For many years he has traveled to California in spring to transport hundreds of honeybee packages back to New Mexico, to be picked up by beekeepers who are getting started or perhaps have lost bees over the winter. He has the experience and specialized vehicles and equipment to ensure the bees arrive safely and in good health. This year, his truck broke down on the way to California (twice), and because 750 packages of bees were waiting for him, he had to pay the breeder to transport them instead. On delivery day, it was determined that almost 300 of the 750 packages contained only dead bees, which of course meant disappointed customers. Craig is devastated as he knows he has not successfully completed this task that he takes on voluntarily….and financially he has been hurt badly as much of the payment to the breeder came from his own personal funds….and he plans to return the payments he received to those that did not get their bees. We beekeepers have the opportunity to help Craig with this loss, which is estimated to be 10s of thousands of dollars ($$$). Please contribute whatever you can to try to make Craig whole. <https://nmbeekeepers.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad273a1c86937b09e59…> GoFundMe for Craig Noorlander Bee helpful, New Mexico Beekeepers Association Steve Black, President Amy Owen, Vice President Bob Reneau, Treasurer Tom Soltero, Secretary Anita Amstutz, Board Member Allison Moore, Board Member Melanie Kirby, Board Member <https://nmbeekeepers.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad273a1c86937b09e59…> <https://nmbeekeepers.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad273a1c86937b09e59…> <https://nmbeekeepers.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad273a1c86937b09e59…> <https://nmbeekeepers.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad273a1c86937b09e59…> Copyright © 2021 New Mexico Beekeepers Association, All rights reserved.

Top bar hives available
by Dana Hees 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Hello bee friends. I have some top bar hive boxes to pass on. 2 of them have never been used and are unpainted. They have lived outside under cover for some years and will need a cleaning. I have some bars but not enough for the 2 hives. I also have 2 painted hives that I used for a number of years. They have all the bars and are still in good usable shape. I would be up for doing a trade for a divide or split once the season commences to that point. Otherwise, I’ll sell them for $40 apiece. Thanks!

Los Alamos swarm call list
by Dorothy Brown 04 Apr '21

04 Apr '21

For those who are on the swarm call list for Los Alamos, please let me know if you would like to remain on it and what contact information should be used. Some emails have changed, so I was unable to email everyone from my last list. If you are willing to do extractions, let me know what you charge. Not all homeowners know that beekeepers are not necessarily licensed to do demolition and construction of any part of buildings, so be aware that our code enforcers have been quite active at times. I share the list with our local Extension agent, Police Dispatch, and Animal Control. That is usually where the calls are received. Thank you, everyone. Dorothy

Hello, Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Dan Key. I live east of Raton and I have had bees for a few years. I was wondering whether anyone knows of a local source for Treatment free bees? I would really prefer to buy locally, as in Northern New Mexico or Southern Colorado. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Dan 719 529-5290 email, text, or call.
