It's package bee season once more at Ebert Honey Co., so I've copied a note from Phil. Call him at 641-527-2639 to make a package order (he returns all messages, so don't worry if the machine picks up). Remember that we DO NOT ship package bees; they must be picked up in Lynnville within 48 hours after their arrival. Phil's note: Here are the 2012 package prices. We seem to be on a never ending price spiral. The prices of bees, transportation and cages have all gone up. The only thing I can suggest is that you get together with friends and make a group order. Here's hoping for a successful year for everyone.
