"My seller of 5-frame Nucs has given me an offer that I would like to pass on to other people to see if we could get a lower price on these nucs. I am purchasing 50 nucs at $180 each. He has offered to bring the price down lower if I can get people to add up to 100 of the nucs. If anyone is interested, reply to me and we will talk to him and see what the final price will be."

Hey there,
A few years ago I purchased this machine that cuts the joints for building bee boxes..
I'm curious if anybody in the club is making their own boxes and would like me to cut the joints for those boxes this winter? All they would have to do is ship the boards to me and I would cut them and ship them back.. I live in New Richland Minnesota..
Let me know if anybody's interested
