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.

Spring sales are very limited, as it is difficult to predict how much there will be available for sale, before the bees are checkded first time after the winter. Reservations are therefore subject to change until April.

Even in the most uniform breeding stock, there will be variation on the offspring of a tested breederqueen. This means, in practical life, that selection is to be made on all levels, for optimal performance in next generation after. 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 island mated spring queens is 2 queens.

2 year old queens are elderly ladies, seen from the perspective of a bee colony. They are therefore to be treated with the highest possible consideration. Do always introduce them in a relatively small nuc, who is absolutely queenless. Old queens and foreign bees is a tricky combination, so greatest possible care is to be taken throughout her life.
