[QUOTE="Dansar, post: 7756, member: 8"] There has been quite a shift is recent years to adopt some of the lesser known facets of beekeeping to generate an income that we used to read about only on international sites. Eg Virgin queens, Package bees etc. I remember emailing Arataki 12 or so years ago asking if they sold package bees as I was wanting to populate my first hive (top bar hive). After many months of no reply Russel sent me a message saying “sorry, no, only export sales.” Nowadays I shake my own bees out to populate mini mating nucs. Great for swarm control too. [/QUOTE]
