These queens are local - grafted, hatched and mated here in northern Utah. They are daughters of my very best queens in terms of honey production, Utah winter survival, mite control and gentleness. I select for these traits, not a specific race of bee. However, they are primarily descended from Carniolan and Italian stock. These queens are young and actively laying when caged.
Your queens will come in caged a plastic or wooden cage with a sugar plug to keep your bees from releasing her for 1-3 days. The cage will be in a container containing nurse bees to keep your queen cared for and feed during transport. Your queen will do best if introduced to your queenless colony as soon as possible.
Pick-up Details:
Pick up is in Sandy by appointment.
We will contact you to arrange a specific date and time.
NOTE: Keep your queen out of direct sunlight and not too hot or cold (65-75 degrees) until you put her into your queenless colony.
