Excellent!

This book is well written and subscribes and describes in detail my personal belief that working with nature far surpasses many of our attempts to dominate. I like the info gleaned from hundreds of years of writings on bees and am, as of today, getting a modified Lazutin hive built by a friend. Praying the Lord will bless this attempt at assisting bees live comfortably...and supply a bit of extra honey for me. :-)

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!
