Hi,
Anybody got any tips on the best way to buy a mated Buckfast Queen. I started with Carniolans five years ago and my two colonies now have a following trait which I have been unable to sort out. I was warned that 2nd and third generation Queens could have feisty workers and this has proved to be the case.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Hope I am not breaking forum rules or leading other members astray. I did try to PM Hivemaker as I think I may have got my hives from him five years ago. However, this is the first time I've posted so I haven't got enough credit. Forum is a great for advice and entertainment
