Now hopefully we can begin to forget about Amm as those who have them can enjoy the bees that are highly susseptable to certain diseases and has been mentioned, are aggressive in nature.

PS

I have read some rubbish. Lots of rubbish in my time.

Thanks for that.

Stupid question 2: why don't we all have these bee's, they sound great?

A certain person is now on block.

AMM are excellent bees and those who have actually worked with them will attest to it.

Arrived safely in the post this morning having been ordered on Tuesday.

They only had two in stock so I took them as I was not keen to wait until the 27th for the next delivery.

So my progress back to AMM has started.

My friend ordered two AMM Queens last year from Bickerstaffes. One gave yellow offspring and one blackish. When he complained as he had bought AMM he was emailed and told the Queen is grafted from the chosen stock and in this case AMM but all the bees from all races are then open mated.

So it was pot luck what she mated with.

This spring the yellow strain had gone laying worker and the blackish one was seen but would not raise any brood. Eventually we put some brood and an AMM queen cell from one of my colonies in. The bees worked their magic and he is happy with the new Queen and her dark offspring. He does all his inspections without smoke now as the bees are really friendly.

If anyone had intentions of sending samples of honey please understand I can no longer carry out this sampling. This also goes for Nosema testing.
