Overwintered Italian Queens (Ligustica ) naturally mated (Apis Mellifera Ligustica)
Suitable for honey and pollen production.
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.
We have a limited number of Italian (Ligustica) Queens, so pre-order is required. Click hereto see how to introduce a queen bee from a different race in a colony
Do not orphan the colonies until you receive the shipping tracking number!
Sometimes the weather conditions do not allow the harvest and shipment of queens!
Incase a queen dies during the shipping, please send us a clear photo and it be will replaced along with your next order.
For each different delivery date, please place a new order!
