He sells them in a 5lb package for 252 so its a little more than outside but they are doing well and we have a lot of them.



That's cool. Do you know if anyone has tried the "Saskatraz" variety some sellers down here are offering? My understanding is they are a variety developed in Saskatchewan. I had hoped to get some to try here due to our sometimes quite cold winters but the suppliers I tired had sold out. I was wondering how they might do in AK.

Good luck to all you AK folks with bees, hard enough at times to keep a hive going down here.
