I purchased several colonies from EasyBee last year and have been immensely impressed with their work rate. I shall try to maintain this strain of bees in my apiaries.

I forgot to say............ yes they are nice tempered bees, the local inspector commented on this and how little smoke was needed despite the windy conditions on the day of inspection. They go like the blazes thogh give them plenty of room, cheers again Mikle BBFN Nick

Hi there Mike I finally found the feedback page! Well from the two nucs the first was a winner from the off an is now a double brood box hive with two further brood boxes and one super above the excluder all drawn and mostly filled Yum Yum! Fantastic work from mid May to August. The othre lot killed their Queen and then their own replacement You then kindly send me another queen she's now on a brood and a half with a super almost fully drawn and filled mind you that was last week! Overall very happy and will certainly bee back! Cheers Mike BBFN NIck

Hi Mike
Just a few lines to say what a great success youier Carnolian Queens have been this summer (2005), Queen accepted very well and went in to lay quickly and within a month or two as the old workers died off the temperment changed to some of the nicest bees to handle I have ever had, very quiet on the frames on inspection and not aggressive at all, I am hoping to re-queen all my colonies by the end of the season so that next season I will have all Carnolian stocks. Thanks very much for all the help and advice I will happily reccomend your bees and Queens to any one.

Hi Mike

Its nice to see your guestbook is up and running. I would just like to add to Avrils earlier entry about the four nuc's and say that the bees have been brilliant. They have drawn out foundation in the broodbox and went on to make very strong colonies. They have all drawn out a full super of foundation and went on to fill them with honey.
Equally importantly the bees arrived on beautifully drawn frames covered in healthy brood without a varroa or other pest in sight. For that reason alone I would recommend your bees to any beekeeper new or old and when coupled to their good nature and productivity they represent a sound investment for anyone interested in beekeeping.
The queens we bought to requeen our existing hives have been introduced without any problems and we can now do our inspections (most of the time) without being troubled by overly aggressive bees.
Finally thanks again for you helpful advice and personal attention and we look forward to using your services again next season.

regards
John

Today Irecived my fourth 5 frame nucleus from Easybee Products.
I felt I would like to let you know how pleased Iam with the quality and service you have provided.
Not only were the bees plentifull and easy to handle, the frames were excelant and cocerd with healthy brood.
All 4 are now thriving and building up nicely. The carniolans are first class with a very good temperment.
Both the queens Iorderd were also of excellent quality and have been accepted into my other hives with no problem.
Iwill certainly order from you again and would have no hesitation in recommending you to any other beekeepers
Yours Faithfully.
Avril Tait.
