We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

Great video. I recently had a queen marking video that got lots of views by non bee keepers and about 100 people commented that I should be using a color that's easier to see than red. I'm happy with the Posca, still using the red pen from 4 years ago and it works fine, but having said that, next time I need to buy some I'll try these.
Thanks I’ll be looking for them . Great colors
My vote. Use pink instead of Red, Use fluorescent instead of dull, But I would stick with the standard year colour.
I got a couple of the Toma pens that you’ve reviewed before. They seem really bright (got green and blue).Not used them yet, they were really thick on the nib so I just cut them down so they fit through the crown of thorns
The 2.5mm tip version of these pens are still available on Amazon. Probably better for my purposes than the fine tip ones. Absolutely agree about the Posca pens. Sick of marked queens suddenly being unmarked. Queens marked in fluoro colours are going to be such a boon when swarm season starts!

how so? what's fluoro to you? gonna use a blacklight in the dark?
Those look like they will work great! BTW - I use a 2 color system as well. I know what year the mark is. Either the bees or winter will take care of any queen older if I don't get a young queen in there.
Thanks so much.
Thanks for the info bro!
Do you need upper entrance on poly hives for moisture thx
Hi Lawrence, yep been there done that marked the queen gone in on the next inspection and yes I can’t find her those lovely bees attending to her have gone and cleaned all the ink off damn frustrating 😂.
I have used The posca for years and they are quite well. The beekeeper have to be skilful with any kind to successfully mark the queen bees.
Great video as always. How did you find the Uni Paint Markers over time? Have only started using them, they last longer than Posca anyway but don’t know how much better yet!
Been using Toma for at least 5 years. Fine ip. Easy to use.
Thanks!

Many thanks for the super sticker, Andrew. Very much appreciated :D
guess I lucked out, bought a 36 pack of oil paint pens on amazon for less than 30 Canadian Dollars , worked perfectly.
Sharpie makes colored oil base pens too
If you wash the queen with toluene first the Tosca paint never comes off
Oh yeah… I had to rewind a little to see the stone hive. Lol
Looks like you have created a run on Zayer pens. Amazon have sold out!

Ha. No way 😳 I'm sure they will be back in stock soon 😀
My eyesight is getting crap, so I only use White and record against the hive log
Oh was that a teaser for the stone hive 🤞🤞
