Just Add Bees...

[Codford]

Hi All,

Frames made (all 60 of them - thank god for nail guns), hives assembled and looking resplendent in 2 coats of Dulux Weathershield Masonry.

Am now getting to the stage where I need to look at sourcing the only missing ingredient - bees. Obviously I am keen to get off to as a good start as possible and have had no shortage of advice. To this end, and after some research, I have been looking at Beckys Beezzzs for sourcing a 14 x 12, 6 x frame nuc. They are reasonably local to me - but not cheap (which might be a good thing!).

Anyone any experience of Becky's Bees? PM me if necessary. Thanks.

not had any problems with queens from her, the nucs are a bit steep I thinkl
see she doing package bees, if you have someone who can help you you can have two package for price of a nuc. but they take some looking after to get started, its like introducing a swarm on foundation only.

Get a couple of bait box's out, you may even get free ones!

Especially if you're close to Becky.
