Our Buckfast queens are bred according to the principles of Brother Adam – with the aim of promoting strong, calm and sustainable beekeeping.<\/p>\n
Mating takes place at a regional mating station, which is operated by the responsible beekeeping association as part of a VSH breeding program. There, specifically selected drone colonies with good hygienic characteristics are used. Although it is not a completely isolated breeding site, great importance is attached to high-quality mating.<\/p>\n
Why a mated Buckfast queen?<\/strong><\/p>\n Controlled mating on a VSH hive guarantees targeted mating with drones from high-performance and hygienically selected colonies. This selection specifically promotes Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) in the offspring – a decisive advantage for healthy and resistant bee colonies. <\/p>\n Characteristics of our Buckfast queens:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2705 Gentle & honeycomb-resistant<\/strong> – Quiet work on the colony, ideal for hobby and professional beekeepers. \ud83d\udce6 o nly shipping possible<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bred according to the principles of Brother Adam and mated at a regional mating station as part of a VSH breeding program.
