Nucs and queens from Dark Cornish bees.

[jameskilty]

I have a few overwintered nucs, late 2010 queens, ready early April . 2011 queen nucs ready late May on. The parent stock and the mating apiary are all black workers and drones respectively plus some signs of varroa tolerance - all my hives are in a breeding programme to develop the several traits involved. Chewing pupae has increased as a result. Any interest? Most of my previous sales have been to local beekeepers, though one valiant soul traveled from Shropshire twice and I found a local b&b for him! Customers sing their praises - mutual grooming has been observed; low temperature flying; good pollen gathering; frugal wintering; responsive to nectar flows; outperforming imports in Cornwall re harvestsl.

Collection only. Price £160. Discount £30 for beekeepers in Cornwall. If some worker hybrids I will reduce to £140 (still all-black drones!). Assess colonies and queens on transfer to your box early evening.

i will have queens from late May (verified all-black) £30; early May (unverified progeny £20). Post included

Hi

Are these bees still available? I'm based in Falmouth, new to bee keeping and just purchased a hive. Pick up will not be a problem for me. Please email me at [email protected] or alternatively call my mobile on 07835269579.

Kind Regards
Benjamin

James, After a winter researching and learning, I'm looking for my first nuc/bees, do you have any 2010 nuc's left please?
I'm in Berks but can travel. Although there are nearer possible sources I would ideally like dark bees.

Do you have any swarms left?

 

[RosieMc]

any mated queens left - possibly looking for three?

Disaster here

Hi James. i'm part of a native breeding program in Warwickshire, very interested in getting a fresh line of native bee as ours is declining. Have you got any mated AMM queens at present ?
