Our island-mated Buckfast queens from the North Sea island of Baltrum<\/strong> are bred according to the breeding principles of Brother Adam – with the aim of promoting powerful, gentle and vital bee colonies.<\/p>\n Mating is controlled at the mating station on the island of Baltrum. The geographical isolation of the island enables targeted mating with selected Buckfast drones. This produces queens with stable and desirable characteristics for modern and sustainable beekeeping. <\/p>\n Controlled island mating ensures particularly reliable genetics and uniform offspring. At the same time, beekeepers benefit from a targeted selection of high-performance drone lines. <\/p>\n Our Buckfast queens are particularly impressive due to their pleasant management and strong development during the season.<\/p>\n The queens are carefully shipped in a cage.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcc5 S hipping will take place in the week of July 27.<\/strong> Please note that live animals are natural products and shipping dates may be slightly delayed due to weather conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Island-mated Buckfast queen from the North Sea island of Baltrum.
