[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 13320, member: 13"] Bettabees ran out of funding when the money went out of beekeeping, and the beekeepers who were shareholders could not afford to fund it any more. It was put up for sale, and eventually the assets were purchased by Frans Lars, who had been managing it when it was Bettabees. Frans is continuing the good work and has now made breeder queens available to anyone, not just the 40 or so shareholders who had sole rights to them when it was Bettabees. Some time back I spent a few days with Frans, he has some lovely bees and very high standards for his selection criteria. He uses AI, to be able to mate selected queens with selected drones, ie, best with best. If you want one of his inseminated breeders, you can touch base with him and buy one. I think he sells normal open mated production queens also. [/QUOTE]
