After reading the link to the Lennox Herald can I just say that the Helensburgh Association had no part in this sugar scam. We were asked by the CABA bee breeding group to donate spare nucs or colonies to this project, which I think the committee or our members at the time did donate bees. We were also asked if we were willing to help in a workparty to get the apiry site sorted out. When some of our members were then looking for bees from this bee breeding project they were asked to pay £70 for a nuc. As far as I know it is now defunct
