Those who have ordered honey bee packages from the New River Valley Beekeepers Association should prepare to pick them up on April 20.

These are three-pound packages of Italian bees with a young queen coming from Gardner Aparies in Georgia through Dadant. Pickup will be at 10:15 a.m. in the parking lot of the Montgomery County Health and Human Services Building at 210 Pepper St., Christiansburg.

Package orders can still be placed online. Prices are $90 each for NRVBA members, and $100 each for nonmembers. Nonmembers may join the association for $10 and receive the member discount.

To pay by mail, contact NRVBA Treasurer Jack Price at 540-745-3411.
