Poly Hive,
Steady on Rab. He has not missed the boat at all.
With all due respect, if you are offering more you should be offering those to the people that have already ordered and would prefer an earlier date than you have perhaps offered. You may not have anyone with a later order, but be that as it may.
This poster has, it seems, not yet got into gear regarding ordering anything and may get hampered by other things 'keep getting in the way'. Not really such a good recipe for being up and running this spring, is it?
(S)he is asking for the last date bees can be got; not exactly 'get up and be ready' for spring is it?
I did say: most early nucs
You said:not yet taking orders but you may well have had enough previous enquiries to sell those 'spares' already? Don't they get precedence?
No, I still think the poster is likely to miss the boat if they don't get a move on - that is what I said in my post, I think? Nothing more and nothing less?
RAB
