We have started the queen rearing season!

Hello bee friends!

We are happy to announce that we have started the queen rearing season!

The first queens will be born on May 6! This week we will begin contacting and coordinating deliveries with all those who have placed timely orders for virgin queens. If you place your order today, your virgin queen order is expected to be delivered around May 20.

If the weather conditions continue to spoil us in May, then we will start fulfilling the orders of naturally mated queens on a first-come, first-served basis starting from June 1. If you place an order today, your naturally mated queen order is expected to be delivered around June 15.

If you plan to purchase instrumentally inseminated queens this year, we remind you that we accept orders for instrumentally inseminated queens only until May 31.

In our apiaries, we carry out evaluation, selection, rearing, instrumental insemination and testing of bee colonies, as a result of which we offer our customers F1 (first generation) Buckfast, Ligustica, Carnica and Carnica-Carpathian cross queens reared from our selected breeder queens.

The price of virgin queens is 8 EUR/queen.
The price of naturally mated queens is 22 EUR/queen (when ordering 10 or more, the price is 20 EUR/queen).
The price of instrumentally inseminated Buckfast, Carnica, Carnica-Carpathian cross queens is 120 EUR/queen.
The price of Ligustica instrumentally inseminated queens is 140 EUR/queen.
You can easily place orders in our online Queen shop - https://www.smilga-spalvina.lv/queen-shop/

With sunny greetings - Agnese
