uk beebreeders group in ashleworth Gloucester

[robertodemarco]

Hi, Anyone heard of the uk beebreeders group in ashleworth Gloucester, they are advertising 5 frame nucs of bees for £60-deposit by blank postal order of£30 per nuc.
are they genuine-don't mean to be impolite, but neither do I wish to be ripped off.
£60 for a 5-frame nuc seems awfully cheap.

Google doesnt come up with a web site for them

'Deposit' suggests to me that if you change you mind, they keep that, but if you still want to buy, then you have to pay more???

blank postal order....ooohhh too dodgy as anybody can cash them....just like handing over cash to someone in the street and them telling you they will post you a box of bees in a few months time...........will they won't they....but they are long gone

 

[VEG]

As a rule if it seems to good to be true it usually is

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

If yu do the maths for a queen imported most likly the cost of frames and wax a cheap card box feeding a nuc to build it up.
I would not risk giving a deposit with a non traceable blank PO
