Looked at the facebook page lots of enthusiasm not much progress ?
Or am I being pessimistic
Useful reminder about spam though
I haven't had that for years mmmmm!
Sun's out I'm off to check my cell raising bar
How much progress are you expecting after a couple of months since the society's formation DR?! Serious question. The new society is a long term project. Speaking personally in my wee corner of it things are moving on. I've been grafting from one of Jimbo's Rosneath AMM queens and now have virgins on the go. I think we're talking years before there is a Scotland wide impact of everyone's efforts. Patience and dedication required! Oh and optimism!
Your amazement is not our primary objective funnily enough DR.

Not sure why you've got your panties in such a bunch over this DR. God forbid people would try to overcome cynicism and do something positive. Is it because you bought a yellow "AMM" queen? If it's from the source I think it is I'm surprised you're surprised

DR - are you on commission? Trying to recoup funds that Mrs DR does not yet know about? Supporting an economy in need? So many questions. Of course it would be poor form to name and shame the supplier.
Anyway - the point is I followed the link because the title looked interesting and I want to breed good bees. The 80 page booklet is COSTED AT £234.57p. I was intrigued this must be some good, must-have text. Thankfully there is a very useful review.
"The author spends a lot of pages in this small booklet explaining why a bee breeding program for Apis melifera melifera, the dark British bee, is essential in the UK. What is missing is how to do it and a better justification of why hybrid bees are such poor value. If you want to learn how to raise queens or select useful traits this is definitely not the book for you."
Many thanks to the out-of-pocket reviewer.
