I purchased a nucleus last year and the bees have been amazing. They are easy to handle and built up to a strong colony by the end of the summer. They even managed to produce some honey to be extracted. They built up the most winter stores and although I have given them candy ‘just in case’ it has hardly been touched. I am still keeping an eye on them. On warm days they are the busiest colony of my five colonies. I have kept bees for 40 years and I can say they are one of the best that I have had. Many thanks to you.
