Call or text for quantities greater than 10! Q. Do I have to requeen every year? A. No. Q.Do I have to use mated queens for making splits? A. No. But here are some things to consider: Having a professionally produced, mated queen, provides the highest odds of successfully renewing or starting a colony versus introduction of a virgin queen (has to make a mating flight, get properly mated, and find her way back without incident), and versus making your own queen with swarm cells, emergency, or OTS where genetics are less predicable. The queens I sell are from top commercial queen breeders and have been selected for specific traits including productivity and demeanor.
Pre-Order 2026 Queen
Due to the nature of queen transportation and the variables faced with this type of livestock, there is absolutely no warrantee once they leave our control. The guarantee is as long as our driveway! Likewise, queen orders MUST BE picked up within 24 hours of arrival. Failing to pickup within the first 24 hours will result in elimination of any and all warrantees. You could literally be picking up a dead queen. NOTE: Bring a container! The queen comes in a very small one or two inch queen cage and will have a few loose attendants with her (on the outside of her cage). A small cup with a lid or small box with air holes in it will suffice.
