We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

Buckfast bees and queens can be any combination of colour they are a mixture of many strains of bee from around the globe. That diversity is locked into the Buckfast hence the bees are any combination of colour or sometimes nearly all dark like Carpathian or Carnica. If you were talking about Carniolan bees it would undoubtedly apply to the workers but not the queens so much, they are various in markings depending on the region they come from.

@DanielRaic 6 месяцев назад

For Carnica bees it is allowed that they have up to two yellow circles, as more they are grey they are certainly more pure.

Hi Laurence, wow 16 frames of brood she is a goodin, I know with the buckfast queens I have that they are workaholics always out foraging before my mongrel colonies and always the last to settle down for the night and the honey they are making with this good weather we are getting I know I am in for a good spring harvest. Keep us updated on these colonies I know we are in for a treat with your vlogs. Thx Laurence mate.

@jays200gspsreeftank7 2 года назад

Bangin looking queen that f0! 16 frames of brood this early is nuts, the temperament of those bees is fantastic, I'm re queening mine in about 4 weeks time with f1's hopefully it calms the pings to the faces down.

@michaelhall7921 2 года назад

Thank you Melo Bees for the reply..... I will have to think a purchase over carefully re £220 for a Buckfast Queen bee. It is very much worth consideration.

@christophercross8260 2 года назад

The buckfast beed was bread to be a stingless honey bee. And after the monk died they dramatically reduced the bee side of the things. As I used to get my bee wax from there.

@lagrangebees 2 года назад

While I'm still way too early in my beekeeping career (just starting my third year) this is the kind of info I love to have ahead of time. I will be raising my first queens this summer, gonna raise from local stock before I try getting something as expensive (and precious) as a certified breeder queen.

@yadoyado7167 2 года назад

😜 OK, if you are going Technical terminology, I don't know about it being Buckfast, as Buckfast Abbey is in England. Scientifically speaking There's no subspecies known as Buckfast either 😜 The original Buckfast are hybrid, and that's what brother Adam was doing, he was getting foreign queens and mating them with local stock, and getting hybrid vigor

@BlackMountainHoney 2 года назад

Ok - Synthetic Hybrid Pure German Buckfast Queen ;)

@JM-nd4kt 2 года назад

No Buckfast are not a hybrid because a hybrid cannot produce an exact copy offspring. They are a manmade strain of bee created from many different sources of genitic material which has been fixed to breed true when mated with Buckfast drones. A horse mated with a donkey produces a mule which is sterile and cannot breed. A plant crossed with another plant creates an offspring which is half of each parent but cannot then produce a matching copy of itself. Bees are different in that they can if an isolated breeding site is used which is why Buckfast are still here today. If you mate a Buckfast queen with mongrel bees you can get good results sometimes but more often than not you will get nearly killed by the bees she produces as they are no longer Buckfast which is why they are not a good idea for anyone who is not buying in replacement queens for the hives they run from a reputable breeder of Buckfast. Trying to get Buckfast bees when you have less than 100 producing hives is not likely to be a viable option because most of the queens will mate with drones which are not Buckfast line and severe aggression will nearly allways be the result. Brother Adam himself said so.

@researcherAmateur 2 года назад

They are a hybrid. These bees have little to do with brother Adam's bees. It's a work in progress. They still adding to them today. Over the last years they added Saharensis genetic into them and always selecting something in or out. It isn't the same as Carniolan or Ligustica which are selected for a place from a local variety throughout the century. That's why they lack stability in their genetic. And why you have to buy them new from breeders that use islands to do it

Hi Lawrence F0- we know the mother and the father ; F1- we only know the mother or the father( but usually the mother in beekeping) ; F2 - we don't know the mother or the father. and that's all , there isn't any F3 or F... Thank you - awesome video.

@mustrumridcully3853 2 года назад

Hi Laurence, I have a lot of interest in a Buckfast queen. I can fully appreciate all their benefits - but what are the downsides? I have heard that their progeny can be a bit erratic and have poorer tempers. What are your experiences please?

@Alitotheg 2 года назад

F0 has a slick sound to it tho 💪

@BlackMountainHoney 2 года назад

It definitely does! 😀

I need a buckfast queen I am from Uzbekistan

@michaelhall7921 2 года назад

Dear Laurence The breeder you mention Lutz Eggert seems to be illusive as regards 'contact'. Please can you say his phone number. Another commercial Queen bee selling company Mello ( I hope that's correct) say they have two strains of Buckfast. It makes an engineer wonder which one of those strains is the purest Buckfast Queen. It is claimed some of the Buckfast colonies are varroa resistant but I see some of the colonies are in trouble and collapsing on the isle of Anglesey? The company you mentioned Honey Field Bee Farm, who seem quite big say that even resistant strains of bees 'need treating against varroa'. I thought that buying resistant bees and the Buckfast 'strain' is one of the species mentioned /claimed as resistant was the whole idea of buying that strain of bees so that the beekeeper does not need to impose/help the bees with chemicals of which although oxalic acid is the mildest treatment it never the less is a chemical. It seems as if there is a lot of mumbo jumbo attached to anything that's complex and especially so where money is concerned.......... At £260 a piece for a 'pure' Buckfast Queen It begs the question is that bee guaranteed? Best Wishes & thanks for the entertaining vidoes

@melobees5884 2 года назад

We sell Lutz Eggert queens for the UK. We sell them at £220 not £260. What Laurence doesn't mention is the line of the queen, that would be interesting to know. We supplied more F0 queens from Lutz to other beekeepers in the UK and we will be asking them about their performance.

@BlackMountainHoney 2 года назад

@@melobees5884 It was the MEDA line I think. Ill have to check my notes. I'll have a few more off you later this year. Danish ones are looking very good as well.

@melobees5884 2 года назад

@@BlackMountainHoney Nice to know they are performing well, already booked 10 from the first lot from Denmark so we can have them early. Also Lutz has reserved 20. It will be very important to see how they all perform this year so we know what to order for next year.

@TH-cl5be 2 года назад

4:47 so if she is a pure how can she produce f1 ? . has she already been crossed in germany ? its only her off spring that makes it to a queen that can produce f1 providing it crosses with eg your jolanta males. you could do controlled breeding with her off spring to keep the pure buckfast line.
