I asked and the manager agreed to lower it to $5 and mix any color I want. I originally wanted quarts but this is too cheap to pass up. I'm going to buy 5 colors: yellow, orange, green, blue and white. I'll get dark or bright tints so I can mix with white to make lighter shades resulting in more colors; navy blue - baby blue, forest green - pale green.

But both years, I was unsuccessful in getting the bees through the Winter. The last Winter was 2013, when so many beekeepers lost many of their hives. I elected to quit at that point. But this year, I have a nuc on order, and will take delivery in late April or early May. Your information is very useful. I have saved your blog on my favorites. <br />Peggynoreply@blogger.com
