Just checking to see where locals are getting theirs?  I've checked out all the usual online stores like BetterBee, Dadant, Mann Lake and they all charge high shipping costs.  I'm a first time beekeeper and so far all the local veterans recommend pollen patties.  I am reluctant to spend over $100 at the moment (as you get free shipping when you spend this and more) and think its crazy paying as much in shipping as the patty itself.  Thanks!
