Can't tell you yet for sure but will keep you in mind. More likely to be a swarm. Depends on local losses.

You could try Chris B,(on here) He's based in Worcestershire. Maybe a little further than you want but he does really good nuc's and packages.

Chris B ok. I'll look him up. Is he a commercial supplier? Website?

Or you could go to one of the auctions down West, Pembrokeshire BKA hold one at Withybush airfield and there's always a fair selection of colonies there, and Teifiside have an auction usually the week after.

Chris B posts on here regularly. Yes, he's a commercial and raises some nucs/packages every year.

I've also heard there's some wild man down in the Westest of England, lives in isolation on some craggy moor - said to breed a rather good queen when he's not staring (or howling) at the moon

Thanks for all the PM's and replies! Lots of leads there for me to chase up..
Cheers!
