    bertie,
    join your local bee association and do a starter course if you havent already done one. that way you will be put in touch with some one who has a reputable hive and you wont rick teh chance of buying a hive from a stranger that may have a disease. you will also get invaluable support from the members in your local association

    I've done that & the beginners course . No nucs available in spring as 2009 orders are not filled yet due to the bad summer last year, it will be the end of the summer 2010
