In Saskatchewan we face 2 east and 2 west and move them together as groups of 4 and wrap and cover them as a group of 4 in -30°c they are 13.5°C inside the wrap measured fr above the migratory cover under the wrap at the centre of the group .
For Tedonell's Query (posted earlier) As Andrew stated : Go Local ! He has Black Bee AMM. And thats a Bee that is also quite prevalent in Southern Scotland as well. . . Maybe ask your local Bee Association for a good recommendation. Or do an Internet Search maybe of those that have attended the National Honey Show. Or from previous Years Lectures & Talks (maybe also Videoed here on RUclips.) I know Black Bee AMM are Bred by several Bee Suppliers in Northumberland. Sure other Species (Bee types) will be out there too ! . . . You don't mention what Bee your asking about, so I will not take up any more time here, detailing Individual Suppliers contacts etc, in case it infringes re National Honey Show remit here. I want to assist while remain impartial, if thats alright. Good Luck finding what you seek. But I guess the theme here and repeated throughout this fascinating Talk is : Keep Bees Local ! including your Queen needs, sourcing Nucs*etc, etc. Understand : Andrew Sells* his Bees over most of Scotland, but many areas already have either Native Black Bees* or a % of Black Bee,in their locality already. And i guess this applies to Native Queens too.
Becoming self sufficient requires a bit more space than a small apiary ( in my opinion). That’s the big issue. But yep, nuclear colonies are the way to get there
