Britain's Bees Deserve to Buzz On
The Movement to Protect Britain's native bees

Working with Native Bees is better than with imports
The British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) discourages the importation of queen bees and colonies from outside the UK.

Buy bees from local beekeepers and check that the local beekeeper doesn't import bees.
Local Bees do better than imports
Locally adapted strains of honey bee consistently performed better
