Bee Breeding Project

[Recyclotron]

Cornwall Bee Improvement and Bee Breeders have applied for funding from the Co-Op to set up a bee breeding program to develop a hygenic strain of our local bee. We are up against a lot of competiton for the funding and really need your help - please vote for us on the Co-Op website within the next week.

What facilities do you plan for ensuring your gene pool stays as intended? Isolation apiaries, II, etc

It's a bit like Britain's got talent...

I used to live in deepest darkest Cornwall and met some locals who quite seriously thought (after a few pints...) that all bridges across the Tamar should be torn down... Not sure if the idea was to keep the English out, or keep the Cornish in!

I don't think bees will respect county boundaries, and anyway they can always go north into Devon without crossing the Tamar.
