We are happy to announce that you can now pre-order your 2027 Buckfast Queens, Carniolan Queens and Overwintered Nucs from us here at Hagens.
Following a fantastic 2026 season in which we completely sold out, we strongly recommend reserving your bees early for 2027. A deposit is all that is needed to secure your order, with the remaining balance payable on the 1st of the month you choose, £5.00 per Queen, or £50.00 per Nuc.

Our 5-frame overwintered Buckfast nucs are established colonies that will have successfully come through the winter, giving you a strong foundation for the season ahead.
Supplied on National frames with a proven Buckfast queen, brood at different stages and food stores, they’re ideal for new beekeepers starting their first hive or experienced beekeepers looking to expand their apiary.
Available from April 2027, an overwintered nuc gives the colony valuable time to build naturally through spring, ready to take advantage of the main nectar flows.
Pre-order yours now to secure your nuc
for the 2027 season.

Our open-mated Buckfast queens are an excellent choice for beekeepers looking for calm, manageable and productive colonies.
Buckfast bees are particularly popular for their gentle temperament, strong colony development and relatively low tendency to swarm.
Whether you’re requeening an existing colony, replacing an ageing or underperforming queen, or preparing a new colony for the season ahead, introducing a young, newly mated Buckfast queen can help give your hive a strong start.
Available from May 2027 – pre-order now to secure your queens for the new season.

Our open-mated Carniolan queens are a popular choice for beekeepers looking for gentle, manageable bees with an impressive ability to build colony strength as spring conditions improve.
Carniolans are well known for their calm temperament, excellent overwintering ability and rapid spring build-up.
Whether you’re requeening an existing colony, replacing an ageing queen or preparing for the season ahead, a young, newly mated Carniolan queen can help establish a healthy and productive colony.
Available from May 2027 – pre-order now to secure your queens for the new season.
