well the season seems to be over so soon after it took so long to get started. Now we are preparing the colonies for winter, making sure they are going into the cold months with plenty of food and are looking nice and healthy. We are now taking orders for overwintered Nucs which will be available from Spring 2017.

Sold Out for 2016

We have had huge demand for bees this year and for the first time ever we have sold out of Nucs before the season has ended. we are still taking nuc orders but it is to go on a waiting list in case we are able to make more nucs than expected. This will all depend on what sort of season we end up having. Queens are still available for sale though.

Bee orders update

This week has given us the first opportunity to do a proper check inside some of the nucs. The colonies are looking ok but the cold spells during March have meant that in most cases the Queens have only really started laying in the last week or so. Even though many nucs have lots of bees, the brood area is still only a tiny patch over 2 or 3 frames. Certainly a big difference compared to last year! However, now Spring does appear to be here so the bees should start to expand as expected as the newer, younger bees start to hatch. We are still on schedule for April but we would say another 4 weeks or so before they will be full size and ready to dispatch. We have pencilled it in for week beginning 30th April but of course, if we can dispatch sooner, we will:
