I'd enjoy that but it will have to wait a year ... so much on the go at present my life's not my own .... will look forward to a second hand report of anything you find interesting though over a virtual dram !

These are quite a long way from you down at the end of Cornwall, but they have been breeding "Cornish Black" AMM for years.

Do they mark their queens with a white cross...?

My bees are all darkish, and have a lovely temperament, prolific, hardy, hard working. They even go out in the rain.

I'm waiting to see what my newly mated queens produce. Sadly, JBM's drones may have got at them, so there is no telling.

I have not had them tested on their wing morphology... I'm just going by appearances. If I end up with eight good colonies, then I may be able to spare one at a suitable price. PM if you are interested. I'm about 100 miles from Gloucs.

My bees go out in the rain. They are definitely not dark.. and they are very good tempered- so not AMM..
