This queen is fantastic and so healthy, full consistent frames of brood.
I was a bit hesitant to purchase my queen from Bee gear, as l purchased my first nuc from them as a beginner bee keeper.
It was not impressive, l had to nurse the nuc to strengthen the hive, the queen layed erratic and spotty for a year, l kept it strong through varroa with vape treatment and then they swarmed.
Apparently the original nuc supplier was on holidays.
This queen is spectacular within 2 months, has outshone the queen in my original nuc that took a year to still not lay as good as this one.
I give 5 stars I'm glad l gave bee keeping Gear 1 more go.
