Posting for under a monthBuckfast & Carniolan Honeybee Colonies. 10 Frames of bees.
Launceston, Cornwall
£285
Description
Ready now!
Full colonies for a good honey harvest.
10 frame DN4 national honeybee colonies.
£300 each if buying one.
£285 each if buying two.
Only 2 available.
Pure Carniolan queen purchased from BS Honeybees & Buckfast bred by renowned Northumberland honey bees. Good temperament, little smoke needed and even unbothered by our hyperactive spaniel zooming around near the hives.
Also available via G um Tree where messages seem to reach me better!
Late Summer & Early Autumn 2025 queens.
Overwintered, proven good layers.
Disease free.
Triple treated for varroa.
Peace of mind: We never house swarms in our hives: this helps to keep our bees disease free. Plus, we only introduce professionally reared queens to our hives; no full colonies or nucs are introduced. And we never use second hand equipment.
We’d love to keep them, but we’ve decided it’s wise to give them a new home due to diminishing health in the family.
We are around 10 minutes west of Callington, Cornwall.
Buying a colony means that you won’t have to wait until next year to harvest honey — like you have to do with a nuc.
COLLECTION ONLY because it’s kindest to the bees : ) Too many bees die via mail or arrive exhausted, stressed and agitated. Collection helps them settle in quicker and arrive in a calm state.
Will be supplied in a free, temporary correx travel box. Safe, secure and ready for collection upon arrival.
No deposit required if collecting within 6 days of first contact…
Alternatively, a deposit of £65 is required via safe, secure means only, thank you : ) This ensures we can all have peace of mind.
Both queens are marked, so will be super easy to locate.
COLLECTION ONLY : ) As mentioned earlier
