    Impressive, Gwizzie - particularly the speed with which you're progressing.

    Hi mbc, I have decided on vinyl flooring (lino) as hard wearing, easy to clean and repair if it does get damaged...

    Default My visit to Keld Brandstrup's

    Hi everyone its been a while now since I have posted anything in this thread, this is due to a few things work (not at the bees) and life in general. The clean room is just about finished now only a few snagging jobs to do but they will need to be done very soon. Last year I decided to try my hand at queen rearing and had great success, so I decided to buy in a few breeder queens and after a long hard look on the web I bought some queens from Keld Brandstrup.
    This year these have done me very well and I am in the processes of re-queening all my hives with his F1 queens.
    I also this year had the pleasure of being invited to spend some time with Keld at his place to learn from him (he was taught by brother Adam) he is a tough task master but I learned a lot, I also spent some time with Mogens Mundt his technician (I called him the queen man) lol he also has been trained by Keld. I have been lucky enough to be invited back again so I must have done something correct.
    Some of the pictures of my visit.

    NOT SURE WHY some pictures on there side ?
