Hello, I would recomend B S Honeybees queens. They cost about £47 including postage, but are well worth the money. When I ordered my queen last year she took about 1 day to arrive.

Bobba, Do not worry I have appreciated your posts. Thank you all. Bee boys

Thank you, We are about to place an order with maisemore. And thank you bobba we are thinking of macking brood boxes out of ply and supers out of yorkshire boarding,which is very cheap.

Thank you bobba, how many brood boxes do you get from one sheet of ply?

To answer your second question. When I have united colonies I have ether left them one day or none at all, just strait away united them with the other colony.

Thank your pargyle, I did think marine ply was the best plywood to use, and I agree it is Very expensive.

Only two supers left.

Hello bobba, Whot kind of plywood did you us? We have considered making bee hives out on plywood, but the plywood on other peoples hives do not seam to last. How lang do they last? Thank you,

Thank you Madasafish.

I was planing to make my own supers, but we only have treated wood and I was worried that the treatment in the wood would be a problem for the bees.

Why do people not paint the internals of a bee hive? Is there a problem with the paintand bees? Thank you in advance.

How much are you selling our queens for? Thank you.

If you have more than one hive as it sounds? I would shake the bees out and let them combine with one of your other hives.

I agree with enrico, give the queen more space to lay.

Has anyone tride the two queen in one hive method of bilding up a hive very quickly? And what are your thoughts on this? Thank you,

It may be worth re queening your old colony.

Last year ( my first year of beekeeping) I did not get stung even though I have a stb bee suit that has got 5 or more holes in its vail. I think it is because I have got a very good queen, which produces a lot of brood, honey, and calm bees. Sorry to hear of your geting stung.

I think you need to replace her, with a new young queen I do not like that brood patan and I think she may be falling. You can get queens from BS Honey bees for about £37, I can recomend them having one of ther carniolan queens which is laying with a very good brood patan. I may be rong though...

I agree it was probably a swarm and I would not leave it till tomorrow,

I agree with you.
