Do Not Confuse These Queens With British Black AMM They are not.
They are random grafted from hives that have over wintered well with good temperament and open mated
This is the laying pattern I like to see before I remove a newly mated queen from the mini mating Nucs. Each frame in half a Langstroth medium. It has been proved that queens allowed to lay for 21 days before being removed develop into great queens

The British Mix is a Queen Grafted from 1 of 8 hives that have over wintered well with a laying Queen and to be found gentle and productive and suited to the area. I have not tracked mating or parentage just find them to be a pleasant bee to work with
