| Queens Our open mated queens are from the Minnesota hygienic line and are bred for gentleness, honey production, and some mite resistance. We purchase our queen mothers from reputable queen breeders and our drone mothers are the daughters of our best colonies from the previous year. Our apiaries are in the mountains of south-western Virginia. This region is far north of any areas infested with Africanized honeybees. In this way we can avoid breeding queens that carry this undesirable trait. Because this area is colder than most queen breeding areas our drone mothers come from more cold tolerant stock. We are a small family business, a mom and pop operation. We care about the satisfaction of our customers. The queens you receive will be of the highest quality we can produce and will arrive in excellent condition or we shall make it right. |
