Hi All,
I am trying to get a local bee breeding group going around the north
Oxfordshire area, I have corresponded with some Bee-L members in the past
about acquiring good Apis MM breeding stock. This year I am having some
success I have arranged with BIBBA to provide me with grafts from this years
breeders. If anyone wishes to join me(the nearer to N Oxon the better)they
would be most welcome. I will be hopefully rearing up to 30 BIBBA queens
from May 97 but I will also be continuing in my local work.
With this in mind does anyone have any good quality Apis MM (Black Bee)
colonies in their apiaries. I am looking for quiet, non following, non
running bees, non swarming, preferably superseding type. Ideally with a
compact brood nest (one brood lift national type) and producing a good
surplus over a 5 year period. I am willing to travel anywhere to collect
grafting material from end Apr onwards.
Is that bee out there?
