FERA has inspected all the nucs and have given them the all clear. We are now arranging days for collection of the overwintered nucs so expect an email shortly with further details.
With the spell of warmer weather now upon us, we have managed to do a proper inspection on the nucs. All are building up nicely with all stages of brood showing. We want to give it a couple more weeks to give them time to increase the number of workers in the colonies and get them checked by FERA, then we can dispatch them.
We now have a good supply of Queens available for dispatching each week.
With March begin so cold and wet, this has delayed us inspecting the overwintered Nucs. These should be ready 2nd half of April, once they have been inspected by the FERA bee inspector for good health.
Our batch of overwintered Nucs have sold out so we are now taking orders for our second batch. This will include 6 frame nucs and full size colonies which should be ready from June onwards. A good selection available.
We have very few overwintered nucs left available to buy for April collection, so if you want bees early then get your order in soon. Once these have sold we will have the second batch of nucs available to buy which are ready end of May onwards.
Well, before even the 2012 season has finished, we are now planning for 2013. We have overwintered nucs available for pre-order ready for April 2013. We will also be taking orders for Queens and other nucs later on.
Season is drawing to an end. We have the last batch of Mated Queens available for this year.
We still have Mated Queens available this week for quick dispatch. The weather has not been great for virgin Queens to get mated and many are appearing as drone layers or even failed completely. Although there is still time to get a new Queen mated and laying in your colony before the season ends, the sooner you get eggs and new younger bees appear in the hive again, the better the chance of the colony overwintering.
We are now processing all final orders for Nucs & Full colonies. You should have had an email asking for a collection day, if you havent arranged one yet, then please contact us.
