Each queen is open mated, marked for easy identification, and supplied with attendants in a travel cage, ready for introduction into your colony. These queens are known for their gentle nature, making colony inspections more enjoyable and manageable.
They also demonstrate excellent spring build-up, helping colonies make the most of early nectar flows, while their strong foraging instincts support impressive honey production throughout the season.
They are particularly well suited to the UK's variable climate and are admired for their adaptability, efficient use of winter stores, and ability to overwinter successfully before building rapidly when conditions improve. For many beekeepers, these traits make them one of the most dependable and rewarding strains available.
