I have worked with many bee temperaments. The bees that arrived from Black Mountain Honey, were the gentlest and calmest I’ve ever come across. After a month of really rapid expansion, they are the same. A joy to work with and I will always order from them in future

First class! Communication prior to delivery was very good and the bees arrived in very good condition. Asked for advice they were quick to answer and really helped me, my bees are now doing really well. Would highly recommend them!

Super impressed with the speed and efficiency of the order process. The queen's arrived healthy and have settled well into the hives. Where I once had unfriendly, aggressive bee's I now have placid and incredibly busy bees. Thank You

Absolutely fantastic service. Queens are extremely well produced with fantastic genetics. I have managed to encourage 2 people to also buy because I can’t get over how good the quality of the queens are and how smooth the service is!

This was my first time ordering a mated queen for one of my colonies. The whole process was so easy with ordering and the quick delivery time and at the end of it you have a very productive queen who lays very calm and busy bees.
