Hello, I'm offering guidance and mentorship to any new beekeeper in Bracknell and area. Dave

I inspected the colonies yesterday. The 2017 queen is not performing well so I am withdrawing it from sale. However the 2018 queen and colony are doing well with 4 frames of brood sufficient stores. Dave 07931 934628

I will have 1 maybe 2 colonies available this coming weekend ish along with a whole bunch of kit. They are in Bagshot Surrey- 50 miles,about an hour away from you . PM me if you're interested Dave

Hello I will have 3-4 colonies available within the next few weeks-as soon as I've had a chance to inspect and replace floors, boxes etc.. after the winter period. They're all on 14x12s . The hives are in Bagshot Surrey. I will also have a some kit available too. Thanks Dave

Or you can get these from USA. https://www.pioneerplastics.com/shop/containers/square-container/156c/ I bought some a few years ago. The honey looked so good but again very expensive by the time you pay shipping and import taxes.

Try this company Measom Freer & Co Ltd Tel 0116 2881588 They are very expensive though!!

You'll soon know if/when you have a laying queen without going in and disturbing them. They will be bringing in bundles of pollen. If you do have a virgin then she should be left alone for at least 2/3 weeks.

Every thing now sold
