Searching for Bees in March

My brother decided to raise bees this year, but a little late. I ordered my bees in January. He is looking for bees all over the place and can’t find any. By the middle of March there are absolutely no bees available around here.

I lost 3/4 of my hives due to the terrible winter we had. Actually, the Martha hive, is still alive, but is so weak that I doubt if she will make it.

I have four hives coming. Two packages due April 8, and two nucs due about May 1.

My brother wants one of my nucs.
