The heart of the colony

Why a productive queen matters

A queen lays the eggs that become the next generation of workers. Her performance influences colony growth, brood pattern, temperament, and the hive’s ability to build up for local nectar flows.

Queens are living livestock, so availability and timing can change with weather, mating conditions, and the season. Current inventory is sold out; status and pickup details will be confirmed when the next availability window opens.

Good reasons to requeen

  • A queenless colony needs a new laying queen
  • An aging or failing queen has an uneven brood pattern
  • A beekeeper is making a new split
  • A colony’s temperament or performance needs improvement

Before pickup

Plan for a successful introduction

Prepare the colony before bringing the queen home, and ask if you are unsure about timing or introduction.

Confirm queenlessness

Check carefully for an existing queen, eggs, or queen cells before introducing a replacement.

Prepare the colony

Have the hive ready, reduce disturbance, and follow the recommended introduction method for the queen you receive.

Check acceptance

Give the colony time to accept her, then inspect for release and new eggs according to the pickup instructions.
