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 Italian, Buckfast 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.

Queen bees can be picked up, or mailed with Canada Post, Monday to Wednesday (to ensure they arrive before the weekend). Choose pickup or shipping during shipping method portion of the checkout process. Queens are sent via Canada Post Expresspost, and usually arrive the next day for orders within Ontario, or 2 days for other provinces.
