OUR

Queen Bees

Our queen bee breading program ensures standards of quality and excellence.

Having a strong queen for your colony is one of the best ways to be successful at beekeeping

Our queen bees are bred right here in sunny Marlborough New Zealand by our specialised and experienced Queen Team. They're an integral part of our operation and work hard to provide strong hives. 

OUR BREEDING

Close monitoring is a crucial part of our queen breeding program

We monitor weight, temperature, and hive environment – constantly measuring and managing to ensure each queen is delivering for her hive. Our investment in world-leading geneticists, who are constantly innovating and developing new programmes, ensures our queens are breed from the best breeding stock lines.
