I bought one of these from Mark today and I was well impressed with them.

I managed to transfer them to the hive without smoke or stings..............they are like baby pussy cats

Withing 5 mins of the frames being in the hive, they looked like they had always been there

I think I may even get some honey from them this year

Yours Roy

I do have a National Nuc that was being picked up this week but the member who ordered it has not replied to my PM although he has logged in, so I think it is up for grabs.

Shoot me a PM if you would like it.

It's a bit late, but many thanks to Mark for his last nuc of the season.

When my wife & I housed them we were in full PPE with the smoker going like a steam train (first time beeks!)
Within a week we're down to no PPE at all. Mark's bees are totally non-aggressive even with two total newbies handling them.
They are also bringing in pollen like anything, all different colours so they must be working a large area?

Thanks again Mark, we're both over the moon with them.

I´m glad that they are settling in well and good luck as you take them into winter. I would be inclined, desite their calmness, to wear at the least an occasional veil against the inevitable accident that might occur as the colony grows stronger. A sting in the face is always an outside possibility, even though neither you or your good wife resemble grizzly bears.

Enjoy.

 

[Ewok]

Resemble grizzly bears? Nah, Ewoks are tougher!

Seriously though, thanks for the tip. We did an inspection the other day with veils & gloves & got a sting on the glove, although we're pretty sure this was in reaction to an inadvertant squeese. Even after the sting, the other bees just quietly ignored us & let us get on with it.
