Thanks for the welcome, We don't sell bees at present as we are trying to build up stocks. We only provide bees to our association members. this is in order to maintain our strain of bee. We checked the strain using Morphology. The results indicated black bees which was checked by a member of BIBBA. We have formed a BIBBA bee breeding group in our local area and hope to provide bees in the future if our breeding program is successful
