BIBBA are encouraging their members to raise extra queens and nucs to sell in order that we can dissuade beekeepers from buying imported queens.
We presently do not have the ability to inspect or vouch for such queens and nucs and simply require the seller to give an assurance that they are raised from local stock and are not imports, and that the seller supports the objectives of BIBBA.
South Yorkshire S75
Our five frame nucleus colonies contain locally-adapted bees headed by one of our queens, brood of all stages as well as pollen and stores. All our nucs are on British Standard frames (drop off your nuc box). Delivery and installation: price on application.
Our locally-adapted queens are bred at our main apiary. They head productive and hardy colonies. We breed a few surplus queens which we sell to cover our queen production costs.
