Hi Has anyone got two mated queens for sale please? not worthy Thanks Mike

Just an update guys, I've read all the replies and the debate is very interesting. Today I wrapped my hives and I will monitor their progress and update you accordingly.

I think weighing all options up, I will try and cover the hives in some form of protection. It can't do any harm, and might as folk say, at least help with waterproofing and solar warmth etc. When you loose hives in the winter (not through lack of food etc) I do question is there more I could...

I thought I needed it because the location of a couple of hives is a bit exposed to the elements. Last winter with all the snow the hives took a battering. It may make more sense then, to move hives to more sheltered location ??

Does anyone know where I can get this ? I've seen it used on YouTube in countries like Finland where winters are severe to say the least. I want to get some to protect my hives for this coming winter. Any help much appreciated, Mike

Good point. I was worried as a couple of my hives seem "queen less" will try some food and see what happens.

Hello Has anyone got a mated queen please? To either collect or post I am in Northampton area. Many thanks

Still interested Can you supply more details ? Thanks

I'm planning on going along this Saturday. It's been a few years since my last visit and I'm curious to see how or if it has developed. There is usually an auction of live bees too so again, it will be interesting to see how much colonies are selling for. bee-smillie

Ok thanks. I know about ****** and Thornes etc... But was hoping for smaller private beekeeper who is more interested in helping out a fellow beekeeper than for just for profit - in other words someone willing to sell at sensible prices !

Whereabouts in France ? I have a place in the Lot, near Cahors

Hello - Winter has been harsh and despite making sure the bees were strong going into the cold weather and had plenty of food - Ive lost about 4 colonies. Does anyone have any Nucs for sale ? Or am I a bit too early in the season ??? Many thanks for your help bee-smillie I am in Northants...

Morning all. Just joined -looking forward to chatting with you - And getting lots of advice etc
