Sorry, I am just throwing out my thoughts on this matter.

still want to continue yapping? or just do your own post and yap about it

if you are not buying then don't police every post here

Well of course we are policing the posts here, we don't want you selling neglected possible duds to people in the community. It's been over half a year since the last time a nuptial flight could happen, and your queen only has one worker. Why would I want to buy them? That queen that had no workers is certainly infertile, and you don't care. I'd love to make my own post about this, especially since you fail to lower your prices even when being provided with clear evidence as to why you are overselling a neglected colony and a dud queen.

I agree I was just looking out for other members if this was a possible dud.

The last time someone got a queen from last year with only 1 worker, it was a horrible neglect queen who's colony died shortly after and just ate all of it's brood in the process. Are you doing the same thing?

I'll take you up on that.

Well they surely can’t be infertile if they have workers right? It just means that the colony is in bad shape. Colonies who get to workers never have infertile queens unless brood boosted. If the queen dies then it’s due to stress. Of course $70 is still a large price but it’s better to save a colony then to not at all. The thing is that if they arrive dead in shipping then that’s sellers fault (as they want to give the colony to someone who wants to take of them better but have failed to do so).

One of the queens didn't even have workers.

Yeah in that case they are probably infertile especially after a year. They should be 20 - 40 workers strong by now.

[The_Gaming-gate]

I wish he only sold the queen with workers, but he doesn't mind putting up his queens who can barely get a small brood pile over the span of months.

[GOCAMPONOTUS]

Yeah I had an old M.Navajo colony and in the first 5 months they were 30 workers so they should be way larger

What do you mean continue? We are barely talking about the same things. I’m being civil and bringing up relevant points while you take up five whole messages just to call me a “yapper.”
