Queen Bees
**QUEEN BEES ARE NOW IN STOCK AND READY TO DISPATCH**
High quality Buckfast & Carniolan queen bees for sale available from April - September. Orders placed before 9:00am Monday - Friday qualify for same day dispatch.
We import Buckfast and Carniolan queen bees for use in our nucs and for sale separately. We use imported queen bees in our own production stocks as they work equally as well as our British bred Buckfast bees and are more readily available due to earlier and better breeding conditions on the continent. All of the imported queen bees come from a trusted European breeder and arrive in the UK accompanied with a health certificate and are inspected on arrival by the NBU.
We use selected breeding stock to produce British queen bees for sale and for use in our own production colonies. We breed from Buckfast mothers which we favour at Honeyfields Bee Farm because of their gentle nature, good honey production and their ability to make it through the sometimes harsh English winter.
We have queen bees for sale from Mid April (weather permitting) through the spring and summer until the end of September.
