    Good to hear from you Trog. Yes, I'm aware Mull bees may play a part in this project (and also no Varroa here to date). The apiary site is about half way down the peninsular opposite a wild part of Morvern so there's a little more distance. As far as we are aware, there are no honey bees across in that part of Morvern.

    Aye, you should be fine there; I've not heard of any managed bees there either.
