queen bees

PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: Buyers will be provided with 5 - 10 days notice prior to the Queens becoming ready for collection.
Cancellation of Queen orders are not accepted as they compromise the breeding programme.

Beewise Marked Mated Bee Queens are carefully bred and mated under controlled conditions to ensure they are:

• Excellent foragers
• Hygienic
• Gentle
• Superb comb builders
• Clean/excellent housekeepers, & hence less prone to disease
• Use little propolis
• Reduced tendency to swarm

For top performance, Queens should be replaced if:

1. Your beehive is aggressive
2. The beehive is performing poorly, e.g. disease, poor laying pattern
3. The queen is more than two years old

THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR HIVE IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON THE QUALITY OF YOUR QUEEN
