Queen bee needed
« on: September 16, 2012, 08:32:36 pm »
My two hives are both queenless after swarming a few weeks ago and failing to produce a mated queen.
If anyone in the Mid Wales / Shropshire area has a queen to spare, perhaps combining colonies before winter I'd love to rehome one.
thanks.

Hi I think you may have to wait until next spring 'sorry'
when the revolution comes it will be a co-op

If there's no queen, there'll be no bees by next spring!

Think I've got it sorted, buying one from someone from another forum.

It's very unlikely to get mated now so I hope its a fertilised queen
