After examining all hives at three apiarys we've a buckfast nuc that got transferred last June into a brood box. this hive superseded in late july it is now a volcano genetics buckfast X locals now,when I've got some of my own raised amm queen's they are getting requeened .
I've noticed that there's lots of nectar about and wondering if this has something to do with it also.
Rape seems to turn some colonies into the bees from hell ...
Plus - skinmimg through some of the posts on this and other threads ... quite a few buckfast cross with locals and that can be an
interesting combination ...
