Excellent service

Immediately upon receipt, placed them in the nuc for 48 hours and then removed plastic caps. Made holes in the fondant and added a few drops of water to soften it to allow the bees to nibble through. I will check next week to see if the queen is laying but don’t anticipate any problems. I’ve always been extremely happy with the service offered by BS Bees.

Resposta da BS Honey Bees

Hi Kenneth,

We’re really sorry to read this and also quite surprised, especially given your previous kind feedback over the years regarding our service and support.

What concerns us most is that no email or contact was made to us directly before leaving the review, particularly as our Trustpilot emails clearly ask customers to contact us first with any issues. As you know from your past dealings with us, we are a friendly team and always willing to help resolve problems quickly and fairly wherever possible.

A 2-star review is extremely damaging to a small business like ours, especially when sat amongst over 4,000 5-star reviews built over many years of hard work and customer support.

We’d genuinely like to understand exactly what happened here, as the situation described is very unusual. We have sold a huge number of queens throughout April alone and have already produced over 200 nucs within our own operation using the same queens and attendants, without a single similar report. Likewise, even large-scale bee farmers purchasing queens in quantities of 50–100 at a time have not raised this issue.

Could you please explain a little more about the make-up and strength of the nuc the queen was introduced into? For example:

* Colony strength and temperament
* Whether the nuc was queenright or had recently been queenless
* Weather conditions during introduction
* How long the cage was left sealed before release
* Whether there was fresh brood present

The fondant itself is deliberately firmer than standard baking fondant because it must withstand postal transit and varying temperatures without collapsing or leaking onto the queen during shipping. Normally the attendant bees and colony bees work through it without issue, which is why we are keen to investigate this further.

We’d really appreciate the opportunity to help properly and hopefully resolve this matter positively for you. Please do email us directly so we can get to the bottom of it together and hopefully rectify the review accordingly.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi there

Hi there, bees are doing very well, loads of rape arround us so their happy. We check every 10 days or so for queens. Your directions were spot on, easy to find you and the gentleman who looked after us was very polite and helpful. We will be ordering another nuk for next year when the time comes, possibly 2.
Many thanks. William.

The buckfast queen arrivied as ordered

The buckfast queen arrivied as ordered, waited overnight to introduced to the queenless hive. Inspected a few days later to find queen cage empty and a calm to the hive. Next inspection found eggs and the queen in the cernter of the hive doing her think. Very happy Thanks

I have nothing but praise for the company. They are extremely well organised and the nuc which I collected is thriving.
The transaction was seamless and they clearly have the bees and their clients at the centre of their focus.

Amazing nuc of bees!

Easy ordering and simple collection, very friendly chaps and the bees are great, so calm and easy to handle. Getting nuc settled for 24 hours and then transfer to the main hive went well, a week on and first inspection all is well and it's amazing how fast the swarm is growing.
