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.
