I need two queens and am thinking of buying mated queens which I've not done before. Could anyone let me know what the dis/advantages are of (edit - apparently shouldn't have linked to a site with four options, so the options were 'local', 'buckfast cross', 'New Zealand Queen' and 'Apis mellifera mellifera (AMM) Near Native Queen'). I'm particularly wondering what the difference between Buckfast and 'local' is likely to be and whether there is a reason to go for one rather than another.
