Even in the most uniform breeding stock, there will be variation on the offspring of a fully tested breederqueen. Therefore we recommend, that at least a basic test on wintering and honey yield is made, before the first grafting is done. This might sound unneccesary complicated, but the outcome in the subsequent generation, will always be way better. A 5 to 10 kilo higher honey yield per hive is easily achieved with just the most basic tests done.
Buying just 1 single queen is like buying a single note in a lottery, which will never be favorable, eventhough this 'lottery' has a fairly high chance of pay out.

To level these variations, and to give you as customer the best experience, the minimum order on newly mated island mated queens is 3 queens.
