Great communication and service

This is the second time I purchased from here. Last year I had a dead queen, that they quickly replaced, and this year everything went great. Because of the cold, wet spring this year, they were excellent at informing me of the queen's developments and shipping of the bees.

Hi Dale! Thanks so much for your review and your purchase! We wish you all the best for your queen and hive!
