Companies like Paynes and Bickerstaffe must make a good margin on a high volume of imported queens.
Not sure what they would be paying per queen for bulk orders but it is likely less than £10 and they are sold on at about £40.
Can you produce 1000 queens on your own or is that a team/family effort.
I have been trying to work out how many queens a sole trader could produce in the UK over an average summer but 1000 is way above my estimate.
