    Hi Jonathan,
    My name is Geoff Tomlinson and I hope I have not jumped the gun by just ordering a mated Amm which I realise will not be shipped until at least the end of June 2020.

    I would prefer a clipped Queen? This will take me into only my second year of bee keeping, I have two hives on organic farm land but having read various articles I want to go native hence my interest in your Queens.

    I know you didn’t supply Nuc’s last year but if you are thinking of supplying in 2020 I would be very interested as I want to increase my apiary size next year.

    I have just paid for a Queen through PayPal, I think I am starting to ramble so I will finish now.
