We aim to select the best genetics from our stocks for queen-rearing and breeding lines. Our core stock is Buckfast-based, with the addition of local genetics (once they have shown the traits we desire). We also use drone semen from registered
European breeders to add additional desirable traits to our lines, pedigrees on request.
Queens always available to purchase over the season.
Pre-order available out of season but we do hold over-wintered Queens (in very limited numbers) - please enquire.
Nucleus colonies available on request - we've always plenty of local stock.
We are members of the National Bee Unit's Disease Assurance Scheme for Honeybees - DASH/FERA.
