NUC Provider: Mr. Gus Mitchell, owner of Cranes Nest River Apiaries; cellular telephone: (276) 870-0618; electronic mail: guswaynemitchell@yahoo.com. Mr. Mitchell is going to do things a little different this year with NUC orders. He won’t be doing the traditional order list to avoid some past complications and stresses. Rather, NUC sales this year will be on a first come first serve basis with a will call list. This means if you’re inter- ested in a NUC from Cranes Nest, your name will be placed in a will call status in the order your information was received to be called when the NUCS are ready. NUC prices are to be deter- mined at that time. Should you be interested, please contact Mr. Mitchell with his (Cranes Nest) contact information previously provided here, and provide your contact information. Facebook: Cranes Nest Honey Co.
