Natural F2 queens (italian/buckfast/carniolan/ruttneri mix)
Sold out
Not selected Natural queens bred directly from the bees of the fertilization nucs. These are well-fertilized queens of which we cannot guarantee the homogeneity of genetics and behavior. A small percentage (10/15%) can have less hold of the honeycomb and a little more nervous behavior. They are used to save orphan colonies or produce off-season nucs when no more queens are available on the market. At a later stage, those whose behavior is not satisfactory can be replaced.
MDS - Mediterranean Dark Star (Buckfast) - minimum order 5 queens
Buckfast bees selected in Sicily. In spring it develops quickly but without impulse to swarm. Collect a lots of pollen. Productive with strong nectariferous flows (like Orange). It bears hot, dry summers and rainy, windy winters well.
CDS - Continental Dark Star (Buckfast) - minimum order 5 queens

If you can count on a good availability of mature drones, virgin queens are the best way to test our genetic lines at low costs. On-site fertilization also allows bees to adapt much faster to the new environment. On the other hand, the acceptance of the virgin queens depends very much on the introduction technique.
