We accept orders for instrumentally inseminated queens until May 31!

Instrumentally inseminated queens will be available in limited quantities from mid-July until the end of August. Orders will be fulfilled in queue, so we invite beekeepers to reserve queens now by placing an order. The order will be confirmed after receiving the prepayment by May 31!

Due to weather and other unpredictable circumstances, the number of available instrumentally inseminated queens may change and your order may have to be cancelled.

All queens and used drones are reared from selected breeder queens, tested in our apiaries. Upon receiving the queens, the beekeeper will also receive information on the origin of the queens and used drones.
