Orders for 2017 delivery now closed

Posted on September 9, 2017 by Jonathan Getty

Orders for 2017 have now closed so any queens ordered now will be for June 2018 delivery, weather permitting. I post out queens in the order they have been paid for and I always check first to arrange a suitable posting date. I hope to get all pending orders posted out by the end of September but the weather is not being helpful for queen mating at the moment.

      Terry.
      Many apologies.
      I just checked my records and your payment was in the wrong folder so I overlooked it. I should have posted you a queen ages ago.
      I can still get one to you if it is not too late or I can refund your payment.
