Fast service and the best queens ever I've ever had, absolute laying machines with wall to wall brood!

Andrew Dart

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!

Dani Beckett

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

Julie Boyce

I’ve been keeping bees for over 30 years- and never have I had such gentle bees - these Buckfast Q are amazing- egg laying machines.

Martin Hutchinson

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!

Stuart Williams

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.

Duncan Newton

Never a fault with the queens we buy from Black Mountain Honey, amazing quality queens with an excellent temperament, laying pattern. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I purchased a mated queen, had great support after receiving my queen promptly and safety packaged. Responded to my emails with regards to introducing her and what I should do with my Hive and frames. Great personal touch. Thanks

Ross Allen

I've bought bees from BMH for years and they've always been calm on the comb and prolific honey producers. Laurence is a fountain of knowledge and always happy to reply to emails and comments. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else.
