    Default Scottish Honeybee Restocking Programme 2013-2014

    The commercial bees arrived this weekend on the heather - about 1/2 mile from us in a bee line. I checked my three hives this week for varroa and all were clear. We'll see how long that lasts. Luckily queen in apidea was mated before they arrived.

    quite a good description of the Italian bee
    They are nice bees
    But like they say in gardening a weed is just a flower(plant) in the wrong place
