All the pre-ordered Wildflower Meadows queen bees will be arriving to the store Saturday July 16, 2016 and will be available between 11-5.  It is PRIDE celebration day.  The parade is starting at 11:00 at Normal Street down University Av to 6th Av. to Balboa Park.  Enjoy the fun before or after you pick up your queen but consider bringing an open air cooler or such to keep your girl(s) cool.  619-293-3617
