Getting my new bees

Pick up was seamless with Graeme making sure I understood what to do when I got the bees home.
The bees are very calm and friendly and don’t mind us opening the hive or being near the hive. They have grown enormously and there is plenty of new brood visible so I’m very pleased with my purchase. BuzzBee always provide excellent customer service and quality products and bees.
