    Hi John,
    I can read your text telling us not to ask questions about the queens ready for shipping since you are very busy. This time of the year will be very busy for you. Absolutely understandable and I show my respect for the work you do.
    I am still waiting patiently for the queen I ordered in April but wondering why a bee keeper friend of mine just passed by at the breeding station last week and get a mated queen just as a take away without ordering one and paying in advance like many of us. I

    Kind regards
    Michael

      Hi Michael
      I should be able to post your queen this week or next week.
      I am currently posting queens ordered in February and March and you ordered on 28th April which was just before I stopped taking orders for this season.
      Not sure what you mean by Breeding station. If you mean Belfast Beekeepers Association Apiary at Minnowburn, that has nothing to do with the queens I post.

      Jon
