    Evening Jonathan, from the looks of it your queens are in high demand! Is it still possible to buy one? Cheers

    Hi Jonathan, do you still have any queens left, and what time frame are we looking at? I’m in Pembrokeshire South Wales.
    Thanks very much

      I keep grafting until September. At the moment probably about 2 weeks until I can post. I always have a backlog to clear of prepaid orders.

        Just paid for 2 last night. If there is any chance of maybe at least 1 a bit earlier as I’ve got a queen less colony and the other is just laying drones. They are both swarms I got earlier this year and are not that big yet so want to get them going asap. I may end up combining them, any thoughts or advice great fully received. Thanks
