Our queen rearing method We raise our queens based on the principles of queen rearing established by the late Brother Adam of Buckfast Abbey. Each queen we raise is the offspring of a proven queen of superior quality and is grafted from the youngest larvae we can utilize (12 hours old or younger) and raised within a heavily stocked production hive that serves as both a starter and finisher. When the queen cells are capped they are transferred to a five frame Langstroth mating nuc where they are allowed to emerge, mate and remain while their performance is assessed. During this time the new queens are closely monitored for temperment, brood production, hardiness and general vigor. Queens that do not appear to meet our high standards are removed from sale. Our Guarantee We are a small family owned and operated Apiary specializing in honey production and queen rearing. We produce a limited number of queens for sale each year and take pride in the care and attention that we give to each queen we raise. Every queen that we offer for sale is one that we would use in our own bee yard. If you decide to purchase one of our Caucasian/Carniolan hybrids you can be confident that you are getting one of the very best quality queens on the market today.
