Overwintered Buckfast Queens mated with Buckfast drones in isolated area (Apis Mellifera Buckfast)
The great benefit of these queen bees is that they have confirmed the overwintering ability of their bees.
As the overwintered queen bee is a mature queen, it will be easily accepted in the new colony.
We keep them in 6 frame hives and are ready for delivery as soon as the temperature permits transportation.
Suitable for honey and pollen production also for queen production.
We have a limited number of Buckfast Queens, so pre-order is required.

Queens, once sent, arrived quickly and in good condition. Delivery was delayed due to cold weather in Romania preventing shipping. The spring does not come as early to Romania as Italy…

Apis Donau keeps you well informed about the purchase and sending. All queens and supporting bees were received in excellent condition because of good package.
Of 22 queens 2 were laying drone brood. The acceptance of queens was no issue as I am working with Buckfastbees already. The colonies developped very well, nice full broodframes and for sure gentle bees.
