Roducing queens in north carolina

摘要

Rick Coor is serious about bees. Located near Golds-boro, North Carolina, he and his son, Colin, operate Spring Bank Apiaries and have been rearing queens and selling package bees for five years. Rick has quickly gained a reputation around Eastern North Carolina as an excellent source of hardy queens and package bees. He and his son are among a growing number of "micro-breeders" in North Carolina who produce queens from home grown stock. I recently attended one of his queen rearing.
