Hi gjb

Welcome to the forum.
Most of us could produce as many q cells as you could throw as stick at, so what advantage is there in traveling to pick up yours. i dont mean to be disparaging, but what could you provide a "selling point". Like, mother type, trait, etc

gjb,

You may note in the rules somewhere, I would think, that you need to be supporting the forum financially if you are offering bees (or potential bees) for sale. Might be a long way to go for a queen cell.

I would give away queen cells if someone wanted one, so with Buzz on this one.

Hi Buzz,

The Cells i produce are from Carniolan Mothers. I find they produce a good amount of honey each year, are good for making splits from, have a good temper and Winter well. I'm not going to try and make out that they are the most amazing bee in the world, like most people do! But they work well for me.
Yes i understand lots of people can produce good queen cells, which i think is great and i encourage people to carry on doing. However not everyone can!
I produce Lots of cells each year, i always graft more than i need to make sure i have enough. It would be a shame to waste the extra cells, which is why i advertised on here!

Thanks for you interest!

Just noticed you have 600 colonies.
The rules do state no commercial advertising.

DO NOT TRY TO ADVERTISE HERE, WE ARE COMMERCIAL FREE

We do NOT allow Commercial Advertising,We strongly believe that our forums shall always be FREE of commercials, we do not promote any Google ads, Beekeeping Supply Companies, etc.. There is a difference if you are asked about a product and reply because you have used it and either like it or don't "compared to" bragging about how wonderful a product is and then we find out you work for the company who makes or sells it. Just use common sense here, your endorsement of such a product is advertising and again advertising is NOT allowed.
Do not post links if asked to do so by a company-other forum member,our software can detect this and you will risk a ban of your account.
If you have a product to sell and beekeeping is not your main business but a hobby you may advertise your items,if you are unsure then it may be best to contact admin before submitting your advert.
Adverts may be removed at any time by admin and the decision will be final.

Then in true altruistic fashion you could give them away

"Carniolan Mothers"

Queen cells are not so surprising then is it

 

[hedgerow pete]

gib has put down a few posts and each one is a sales advert for smokers or queen cells.

sorry but i am not impressed,

the idea of having someone with 600 hives on the forum is great as we can ask loads of questions but i get the feeling we have another easy bee on our hands

When I saw the post he had 0 in his number of colonies.
Just for the record, anyone wants any of my Q cells are welcome, not that mine will, of course.
gjb, perhaps you could discuss your Queen raising techneque, along with pros and cons.

here's a thought

perhaps you could offer all your spare queen cells to ITLD.

that would solve the current "issue" with the COOP at a stroke.
