British Bred Queens

Looking for high-quality queens to increase your honey production? Look no further than our UK-bred honeymaker queens. Bred from our own carefully-selected colonies as part of our rigorous breeding program, these queens are known for their docile nature, high productivity, and hygienic qualities. We hand-select the breeders from our best-performing colonies, ensuring that only the most productive and genetically sound bees contribute to our queen rearing program.

Our honeymaker queens are open mated in drone flooded areas, resulting in well-mated and productive queens. Whether you are a hobbyist or commercial beekeeper, our honeymaker queens are a great choice for increasing your honey yield. They are easy to work with, making hive inspections a breeze. So why wait? Try our honeymaker queens today and see the difference they can make in your beekeeping operation!

Introducing your Queen

We send queens introduction cages with attendants. Introduction cages have a candy plug. Just break open the tab and place into the hive between two frames of sealed brood. Then check back in three days to ensure successful release of the queen and that she has started laying. The hive should have been queenless for 48 hours and have no queen cell.

Postage

We send queens Monday to Thursday using Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm. If you order before 8:00am your order we will send your order the same day. We will send out any orders after 8:00 am on the next posting day. If you would like your queen to arrive on a particular day then please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please make sure that there is someone to sign for the package.

Please note that you can not start beekeeping with just a queen. By purchasing you are agreeing that you have prior knowledge of beekeeping and understand that you are purchasing just a queen which will require a colony to go into.
