COLLECTION ONLY WA
Beewise Marked Mated Bee Queens are first generation Rottnest daughters - carefully bred and mated under controlled conditions to ensure they are:
- Excellent foragers
- Gentle
- Superb comb builders
- Clean/excellent housekeepers, & hence less prone to disease
- Use little propolis
- Reduced tendency to swarm
- Tendency to collect flower honey rather than honey dew
For top performance, Queens should be replaced if:
- Your beehive is aggressive
- The beehive is performing poorly, e.g. disease, poor laying pattern
- The queen is more than two years old
THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR HIVE IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON THE QUALITY OF YOUR QUEEN

In QueenSpotting, readers are challenged to spot the queen in vivid up-close photos of her royal highness hidden among her many subjects.
QueenSpotting celebrates the unique, fascinating life of the queen bee. It chronicles royal hive happenings such as The Virgin Death Match, The Nuptual Flight – when the queen mates with a cloud of male drones high in the air – and the dramatic Exodus of the Swarm from the hive.
