Available NOW, (by appointment only)

DUE TO COVID-19, Canada Post is not guaranteeing shipment times. We will not ship queens until delivery times can be guaranteed. 

Our Queen bees are raised from Ontario breeding stock selected for gentleness and disease resistance (hygienic behaviour). Like most Ontario bees, ours are descended primarily from the Buckfast, Italian and Carniolan 'races' of European Honeybees. This combination results in productive and gentle bees that are able to handle our sometimes harsh winters.

We do not clip wings. 

We can leave the queen unmarked upon request.

Queens are marked blue for 2020.
