    Also nice to just know the ABV. It is always a mystery with Plan Bee bottles.

    They will most definitely continue the Hive memberships per one of that last e-mails from Emily about renewal memberships and new members. According to her, they plan to continue expanding Hive memberships in other states as well. They already are licensed to sell in Massachusetts now and have Hive members there as well.

    I missed the part about the renewal as well. I'll definitely continue to be a member if they keep doing the Hive

    Did anyone track how quickly the Bouquet sold out? I bought one bottle at 3:01pm ET and just checked again at 4:15pm out of curiosity and saw it sold out. It seems to have sold out much quicker than Narcissus which yielded 160 bottles. I bought my Narcissus five hours after the delayed release (was supposed to be posted at 5pm, but was posted at 7pm, and I bought mine at midnight)

    I did check at 3:20 (I'm in New Mexico, so it was 1:20) and bottles were still available. Didn't check after that.

    Yep, I checked around this time to see if they removed the pic... they did not, just gave it Sold Out status. Glad all bottles went up at once, heading there Saturday for a pick-up and a bike ride.

    Interesting that they're having the Hive party on a Sunday. Basically a required day off for the non locals

    For the Swarmers, what are the details of the Hive party so we can live vicariously through your words?

    FYI - Hive renewal information is out. Next membership period will run from August - December 2016. Looks like the Swarm has been discontinued, at least for now.

    Can you quote? I'm guessing that's because they'll just be selling bottles directly out of the farm going forward.

    You are exactly right. The email from Emily says: "The Swarm membership ends July 30 and we will not be renewing this membership for now. We need to find out what the demand of the farmstead is before we know we have room for the Swarm. I will be extending an invitation to the current Swarm members to join the Hive on Monday, June 13."
