With Help, Bees Come North - a podcast by MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Located in southeastern Sullivan, Wisconsin is Heritage Honeybee. It is the nation’s largest distributor of bees. Owner Tim Wilbanks moves bee colonies and queen bees from northern California and southeastern Georgia to a seven-state region around the Great Lakes. Tim is about halfway through his season even though the recent cool weather doesn't suggest that it’s time for spring. But he says cooler temperatures don’t really impact bee distribution. The surplus of bees in warmer states is the supply that feeds the Upper Midwest's beekeepers. Wilbanks says demand has been growing for bees in Wisconsin.
