* We breed irish native black queens apis mellifera mellifera to over winter, so if you come to spring and you have lost a native black queen send an email and we will help, subject to availability. Should you not have time to breed  your own black native queens buy some of our prolific layers! 

* I also have irish virgin black honey bee queens available.

*  Buying native honey black bees, has put us on the right path here in the west of Ireland.  We live in an area that my black  virgin queens can open mate for at least 6 miles and to date I haven't come across any of them with orange mixed with my beautiful blacks.

 * After training with Mike in Scotland,it opened my eyes to instrumental insemination , my dear older brother helped me out with buying the right instrumental machine . I brought it from Doctor Peter Schley.. from Germany
