Never Lose a Queen Again
I wanted to let you all know that BJ Sherriff, a sponsor of this blog, have recently launched an innovative QueenSafe™ bag.
New Queen bees are either expensive to buy, or take time to rear, so you don’t want her to go missing!
The bag allows beekeepers to safely and securely manipulate their queen bees with ease: transferring queens between containers, colour marking or wing clipping. The tube is self-supporting and is hand washable. It concertinas in to a flat circular shape.
Their researcher Johnathan says “can’t believe how easy this is to use – having lost a few queens in my time whilst trying to mark them in my truck – they like to climb down the air vents never to be seen again! But not anymore – this is a great piece of kit”

Roger hello, new beek here.
Thank you for posting your experiences which I’ve just discovered. What a roller coaster ride and amazing perseverance. What’s happening with you and your bees now? It’s past UK summer. Did you attract any swarms?
Cheers from down under.
