I mostly lurk the thread to learn some odds and ends, but I also work for a beekeeping supply place (Mann Lake) and all that talk of not getting packages in the mail and shortages made me figure I should at least throw the name out if anyone is still looking for things. They're a pretty big operation with locations across the US, so they can probably hook you up with most things involved in the hobby, including bees. To note -- shipping bees is very tricky and it is very discouraging to see package bees arrive dead/devastated to the point of sure failure. I'd very much suggest UPS for shipping single packages unless your local USPS is a good location. I find that a lot of people struggle with communication issues with USPS and with the time-sensitive nature of shipping live bees, it's a pretty perilous situation. I also have a question if anyone might be a little more knowledgeable on the botany side of things. At our Florida location (Come visit if you're local! We're in central FL) we've established about 20 hives and everything is shaping up nicely. However, we're now looking ahead to building to a honey harvest and wanted to maybe try getting a little flora growing in the neighborhood to play around with something unique. Anyone have any ideas of something that would take in this kind of climate (FL, so lots of direct strong sunlight and frequent rain) that isn't pepper/orange oriented? I moved here from PA and my knowledge of this aspect is virtually nil.
