Beekeepers for three generations

Queens we would put in our own hives.

We raise Buckfast and Carniolan queens on our farm in Romania and ship them live to beekeepers across the EU. Every queen is hand-selected for docility, fast spring build-up, and the hygienic behaviour that keeps a colony healthy.

Which queen is right for you?

The mating method decides how predictable a queen's offspring will be.

Naturally mated

The queen mates in open air with the drones around our apiary. Healthy and productive, with more variation between daughters.

Best for: honey production

Controlled mating

The queen mates at an isolated mating station where only drones from selected colonies fly. Traits are far more predictable.

Best for: consistent colonies

F0

Mated at remote mountain stations in Romania, most of them near Sibiu. The stations are so isolated that only drones from our selected colonies fly there, so every mating is fully controlled.

Best for: breeding your own queens
