New Bee
I know many of you have too many hives to name your queen's but have any Beeks given your queen bees a name? Two hives for us and ours are Daisy and Rosie, what are yours?
No, no need for more than a number, you just know where your favourites are, Number 5 direct supersedure from the first queen I ever bought in and number 8 (which purely by happenstance has now ended up in the hive next door) the same, but from a Demarree'd daughter of 5. 47 is fast becoming a favourite as well, as is number 18 at Garn cottage who is the supersedure daughter of a right survivor and prolific queenOh come on JBM, one of those must have earned a dearer place in your heart than a mere number?
I relent.Yes all 7 of mine have names
Not sure I’m brave enough to divulge what they are.![]()
