AVAILABLE AFTER July 25. Proven mated VHS x Russian Queen. Pulled fresh from her Nuc and caged day of delivery. Re-queen your hives with these young queens before fall for the best winter survival!

These queens are made  AFTER THE SOLSTICE from mothers that survived the harsh Minnesota winter, selected by bees in naturally drawn queen cells (not grafted), and are then open mated to predominantly Russian local drones. Selection is for survival, mite tolerance, and temperament. Honey production seems to be more of a product of management and environmental conditions.

I allow young queens to lay for at least three weeks after mating to ensure their brood pattern is solid and they are producing proper proportions of capped worker brood. Due to our production standards, supplies are extremely limited! Queens can be made to order, order early for best selection.
