Loch Tay Black Bee Breeding Group

Queen rearing group based in Killin and around Loch Tay, focused on propagating the best of our locally adapted dark bees from the area. Our focus is on healthy, vigorous and varroa resistant bees that overwinter under the coldest and wettest conditions here in Scotland and build up quickly in springtime.

We produce locally adapted, healthy and varroa resistant nucleus colonies and queens for the local bee keepers and beginners. We try to avoid that beginners in bee keeping have to import exotic bees (and possibly bring new diseases with them) into our area.
