Pure Carniolan queen purchased from BS Honeybees & Buckfast bred by renowned Northumberland honey bees. Good temperament, little smoke needed and even unbothered by our hyperactive spaniel zooming around near the hives.
Also available via G um Tree where messages seem to reach me better!

Late Summer & Early Autumn 2025 queens.
Overwintered, proven good layers.
Disease free.
Triple treated for varroa.

Peace of mind: We never house swarms in our hives: this helps to keep our bees disease free. Plus, we only introduce professionally reared queens to our hives; no full colonies or nucs are introduced. And we never use second hand equipment.

We’d love to keep them, but we’ve decided it’s wise to give them a new home due to diminishing health in the family.

We are around 10 minutes west of Callington, Cornwall.

Buying a colony means that you won’t have to wait until next year to harvest honey — like you have to do with a nuc.

COLLECTION ONLY because it’s kindest to the bees : ) Too many bees die via mail or arrive exhausted, stressed and agitated. Collection helps them settle in quicker and arrive in a calm state.

Will be supplied in a free, temporary correx travel box. Safe, secure and ready for collection upon arrival.

No deposit required if collecting within 6 days of first contact…
Alternatively, a deposit of £65 is required via safe, secure means only, thank you : ) This ensures we can all have peace of mind.

Both queens are marked, so will be super easy to locate.

COLLECTION ONLY : ) As mentioned earlier
