Lots to cover.
Feeding. It’s ok to start 1:1 feeding and pollen if your confident in the warming weather patterns and they need it. If you have some left over 2:1 and the colony is lite, that’s fine too. If you have some BeeResQ preserved 2:1 you can ad water. A drop or two of unscented chlorine bleach will freshen it up to get rid of any surface mold. But it should be good as long as it doesn’t smell fermented.
New Product: digital copy of BeeResQ Plant and Planting Guide (2022) at https://www.beeresq.com/product-page/beeresq-plant-and-planting-guide-1
Coupon Codes: with fuel prices etc. I may need to end coupons soon. Feel free to take advantage while active as follows:
DeliveredRepeat and Repeat are the codes. There’s also a “Trip” discount code for new customers wanting a site visit or those who ordered a nuc without delivery that now want delivery with hep setting up equipment, installing g Nucs, and a little getting started advice.
Colony Booster - (coming soon) consisting of probiotics, pollen, and gut healthy 1:1 syrup, in a pollen feeder - Coming soon
Queens: The first shipment of professionally bred, mated Minnesota Hygienic queens is expected around April 15th. 3/4 of them are already sold. We will continue to take orders for shipments after that but you will want to preorder ASAP.
Nucs: see above regarding coupon codes (while they are valid) but CALL for bulk, large wholesale orders, or group/club orders (10-100+)
Subscription/Maintenance and Hive Rental Plans - I try to get monthly plan holders visited the first or second week of each month depending on weather etc. Other on site services get scheduled around these, as available. If you’d like to be assured of a monthly on site check, go to https://www.beeresq.com/plans-pricing but keep in mind that additional charges may apply for miles outside of standard service area and for additional non standard service items, supplies, etc.
Let’s see…what else??? I know I’m missing some things so I’ll add to this later if needed!
