    Feedback on Bees Supplied Through the Post

    If people want bees so badly they should be willing to travel. posting nucs is in my opinion not an option. Its just a greedy supplier that want to squeeze evey last penny out of the bees they have for supply. The only way to transport bees is to do it yourself or for the buyer to transport! and...

    Not very satisfied!

    The BBKA guide lines are only what should be the standard when doing the deal not a lot of use after the fact its like buying a lada and then going back a week later with the spec for a rolls royce to complain. If the buyer can not be bothered to inspect before completeing the deal it there...

    Not very satisfied!

    The First question that springs to my mind Did you inspect the nucs? Every nuc i sell i insist the buyer inspects every frame if there a beginner i give them the BBKA leaflet of there guide lines ( they are only guide lines) and if there happy a deal is done. If you buy a cardboard box without...
