Found one queen laying today from a batch which emerged on 19th June so just managed to get one mated before the end of June. Can only get better. I have 50 cells with queens due to emerge next week and did another 50 this afternoon.
I'm a novice beekeeper and have an Octagonal Warre, a National and a Smith (long story) but I'm trying to work out which one works best for the bees (and me). Someone mentioned to me recently the merits of the top bar but others have said they're not for beginners. Any views?
