2012!!!!

Packages and nucs go by

Priority ground not by air.

You will save yourself a lot of money

by driving here to Forest, OH over having

your order shipped.

Beekeepers drive hundreds of miles

so their order does not have to be

on mail trucks for hours and hours!

Queens go by air mail!

All our Packages and Nucs

that can be shipped

will be insured if states

will alow us to do so!

When the distance is great

and it takes much time for

packages to move by ground

This is when packages suffer.

However, the P.O. plans well

for problems and requires that

packages for us only go

Tuesday and Wednesday

peroid!

For Your Information!!!!!

If you really want to go big

we give volume discounts

When ordering a # 4 lb. package

with an Extra Queen a beekeeper

can make # 2 hives

from one package.

A # 4 lb. has about # 5,000 more

worker bees.

I can tell you how to split

a # 4 lb. package.

This is done every single spring!

Spring 2011 we made in one day

# 40 more colonies from splitting

# 4 lb. packages with an extra queen!

Again

Ask about volume buying for

large numbers of packages.

We here at Parsons' Gold Apiaries have located a new:

Stainless Steel # 33 frame Walter T. Kelly Honey Extractor 4 Sale.

It comes with many extra's priced separately to run such a system.

The buyer had it trucked to his location here in OH. form KY

After buying this equipment this fellow realized the size was way too big for his operaton.

This equipment has never seen a drop of honey is still in excellent shape stored in a clean environment.

The seller would be willing to part with this equipment at a lower price just to move it.

This equipment would be a perfect buy

for a beekeeper running 15 + colonies

and wanting a low priced

set up for 2012!!!!

This extractor has never seen

a drop of honey!

SALES FOR Nucs:

MY NUCS HAVE ALWAYS INCLUDED WORKER BEES, QUEEN,

BROOD & HONEY 0R OTHER SWEETNER.

**# 3 frame nucs are best for spring

as they are too small for late summer and fall 2011

Any nuc or hive with a marked queen

add an additional $6.00 to the price

I usually place my nucs

in a special cardboard nuc box

made for honeybees.

If the customer wants their order

in a pre-assembled Pine nuc box

add $50.00.

A # 4 frame nuc buyer might

want an additional frame added

so there are no frames tossing around

in a #5 frame nuc box.

An aditional new frame add $3.00

for your order.

These nucs are assembled and glued

with waterproof glue

and I like to paint them too if time permits.

All orders for special wooden boxes

need to be placed way ahead of

someone coming here for an order.

When you need to move the nuc box they

either have to be taped down tight

or I have to screw the lid on and add

some sort of wedge placed so the lid

is up some to vent this box.

A wedge for a vent is not necessary

if the person does not have far to go.

Nuc boxes are time consuming to produce

with the painting too so they do not soak

up water waiting for a buyer

to install them in an 8 or 10 frame equipment.

A #4 or #5 frame nuc can be used upon

receiving it for several days when you

haul them to your area of the country.

I also like to screen the entrances too

so when the buyer leaves with his or

her order the bees have more

vents so as not to over heat as easy.

I have produced nucs/larger hives

here in OH for 14 consective seasons.

When 2012 arrives.

New beekeepers want honeybees at all times

of the year as there is no normal time

to start keeping honeybees.

I have placed many hives as late

as middle of November of any

given season with success!

If you get a hive late you will want to talk

with me on how to treat this

colony in late fall and winter time.

There are no guarntees for success

as beekeeping is a super interesting experience

and you learn as you go.

No two queens are the same and

the queen makes the hive.

I still learn something each year

and I am starting my 46th year in 2012.

Your colony is your responsiblity

and when you leave with your order

the responsibiltiy of the life of the queen in a cage,

colony, nuc or packages rests with you

from that moment onward.

The moment you as the new beekeeper

gets your hive home and starts learning anything

can happen to that queen.

How you remove and replace each frame

with honeybees on each is up to you

and so this venture is personal and ever changing.

It is first come first served and the

wait might be longer then you want due

to when I hear from you as to what hives are

ready for each new beekeeper or returning beekeeper.

I get in callers daily some are just

looking wanting to know the best

deal and calling to shop around.

The problem often rests

with the beekeepers that

waits too long to settle

with this or that provider.

At this time of the year up to some time

in late November providers and breeders

start getting together with prices

for the next year but the orders just

keep on mounting don't wait

too long to pick a provider.

Some of us have nearly unlimited supplies

of honeybees at different times of the year

and some don't have that

many units to market.

I stress to all that call me that there

is a time to smell the roses so to speak

and there is a time to settle

on this or that provider.

My advice for you is to find a provider

that knows honeybees and has provided bees

for buyers for many years

not one that just put out his or her sign that spring.

You want a company that has done this

for some time or a company that was

doing honeybees for

years but not just for buyers.

I was a beekeeper with my own hives

for 30 years before I said I

was in business for others.

LOCK YOUR ORDER IN NOW!!!

At this point no queens have arrived in from Miss!

I am figuring on 2012 Miss Queens

We market a treatment - will help honeybees deal with problems in the hive

Parsons' Gold Solution

A safe non toxic treatment!

Do not let anyone tell you one can't make honey in the first season.

My web site talks about this treatment and particulars for it to be mailed.

Hiving packages of bees.

(See FAQ to decide whether you

want a package of bees or a nuc.)

* We take great care with any honeybee related items such as packages, nucs, hives or other products sold here.

Packages of honeybees in our care are put in a building out of the sun as soon as possible with fans to provide ventilation.

We are not responsible for any bees or bee items after they leave our care.

Note: Our honeybee packages in from GA come with a mated caged queen inside. Our 4 frame nucs that that come in in May from GA also have a mated caged queen inside each. The nucs that we make up in Forest, OH have a mated queen but she is not caged she is on the combs.

If at all possible I talk with the buyer before a purchase about the order that a beekeeper wants. Some beekeepers when they come ask for a nuc or packages not ordered before their specific date. In a case like this above one has to take what I have as getting what they might want at the last minute is just not possible. I have to tell the buyer this is all that I have ready without first hand notice like several weeks.

Due to cool spring weather here in OH I plan to have nucs here that were created by other producers where it is warmer in early spring. In spring 2012 I will have many # 4 frame nucs ready as they are in from GA. Nucs from here in OH in spring 2012 will not be ready till late May or early June. Today April 27, 2012 I am taking orders for nucs that will come in the 4th week in May 2012. New beekeepers do not know to place orders early it takes many seasons for me to get some beekeepers to think early.

Please call or Email us if you want to order - Honeybee packages, nucs or full size hives!

I am updating the web site as often as is possible!!
