Yet another new queen bee on the way to me in the post, the last one has decided to be a drone layer and the colony is quietly fading away. This time have a mated Buckfast queen on her way, (http://www.honeybeesuppliers.co.uk/buckfastqueens/breeding/breeding.html), had better warn the ladies that open the post at work!
Now all I will need to do is kill the old queen so they don't fight it out to the death! Not something I relish doing.
PS also due to pick up a new nuc, (starter colony), in a couple of weeks, one colony is just too problematical, now will have some alternatives to manage my bees.

Well if a chef can do it why can't a beekeeper, ok not quite a beekeeper yet, but it's the thought that counts:)
