AMM Mated Queen for sale - source and reason?

[DanBee]

Probably the same way as it got to the UK. Ireland was connected to mainland UK at the same time as UK was connected to the continent. At least that is how I understand things to have been.

Have a read up on Doggerland (please, no car park references )

The implication is that Britain was attached to mainland Europe along much of the east coast. Was Ireland similarly linked during the same timescale, i.e. after the ice retreated, or did honeybees arrive in Ireland with Man's help?

alas no moor !

little heather now

I know. The suggestion is that it has succumbed to the more "environmentally sensitive" management techniques that no longer allow large-scale burnings. If that's the case then it would be something of an irony...

I haven't yet (obviously) had time to look into Doggerland, but as I understand it man arrived in Ireland about 7,000 BC via a land bridge which would connect to Ireland on what is now the coast near Waterford and Cork.

Somewhere in another thread about AMM on this forum, there is more imformation about this.

But here is a bit about it...

Although the rising sea levels had begun to flood the lower lands, a land bridge still connected the south-eastern tip of Ireland to south-western England.
