I got a call from the Birmingham Zoo a month or so ago. They wanted to purchase 2 nucs from me. I was happy to oblige their request. They had found out about my bees from a beekeeping supplier in Birmingham who I've done some business with. They came up earlier in the week and I gave them a crash course in beekeeping, then I packed up the bees and frames into their hives and sent them on their way. They are very excited to get started in beekeeping and I think it's pretty cool that "my" bees are going to be at the zoo. So, if you ever go to the zoo and get stung by a bee, think of me.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Cool. Did you let them have the mean ones or the newer variety.
Congrats.
Don't give up, don't ever give up!

Neither. They were from queens I got from a treatment free supplier last year prior to getting the first queens from Frost.
I'm about out of the hot bee business. I have one hive that's turned pretty aggressive this year. They were fine last year but have been too hot this spring. I have kept that hive from raising any drone brood to completion and will kill the queen the next time I find her.

You'll likely come away disappointed...

Awesome that you could provide the bees!
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.
