It is with regret that I heard of the death of John Atkinson on the 28 March 2008. To those of you over the pond, John was a leading light in bee breeding in the UK and a protagonist for the use of tiny mating nucs, as well as a writer, bee farmer, beekeeping adviser and queen breeder.
John will be missed by friends and family, as well as those of us that have had the benefit of his own brand of practical advice.
