why our Queens
Produced by Beekeepers, for Beekeepers
Every queen we produce is raised with the same care and attention that we apply throughout our own apiaries. We understand the importance of quality queens and are committed to supplying healthy, well-developed queens that beekeepers can purchase with confidence. Due to limited seasonal availability, we recommend reserving queens early to avoid disappointment.
why our Queens
Carefully Selected Genetics
Our queens are bred from carefully chosen colonies that demonstrate strong performance, healthy brood patterns, and excellent colony development. By selecting from productive stock, we aim to provide queens capable of building thriving colonies and supporting successful beekeeping operations.
why our Queens
Calm & Manageable Bees
Temperament is one of the most important traits in any colony. We prioritise calm, manageable bees that are a pleasure to work with, making our queens suitable for both hobbyist and experienced beekeepers alike. A well-tempered colony allows for easier inspections and a more enjoyable beekeeping experience.
Our Queens
I introduced one of Raw Honey Co's Buckfast queens into a colony that had become difficult to manage. Within weeks the temperament had noticeably improved and the brood pattern was excellent. A quality queen from a supplier that clearly takes pride in their stock
