Mated Queen purchase

I bought a mated Queen from Simon having made initial contact with him online. He was very quick to respond, helpful and knowledgeable. The Queen was been successfully introduced and colony has accepted her. All credit to Simon’s meticulous preparation and attention to detail. I would recommend The Bee Rookie to both beginners and more experienced beekeepers.

The Bee Rookie Top Bloke

The Bee Rookie has helped me out alot with setting up my beekeeping journey. I got 2 nuc of bees from him to get me started and they are the most calm placid bees I could have hoped for. Ive also purchased a queen from Simon to go with a split and he helped me through the whole process of introducing her into her new home.
He's a wealth of knowledge and i cant recommend him and his bees enough 🐝🐝🐝
Thanks mate appreciate all your help
