About Our Queens
Our Breeding
As the largest queen breeder in the Baltics, we run our own programme at scale — over 2,500 mating nucs and more than 750 queens a week. We breed our own queens; we don't resell.
Breeder genetics are sourced from renowned European apiaries, then their daughters are evaluated over a full year for honey production, temperament, disease resistance and winter survival. Mating is controlled in geographically isolated stations (valleys, lakes and large rivers) with heavy drone saturation, and every batch is tagged and tracked — only queens that meet our criteria are sold.
Every queen we ship is mated, laying, inspected and marked. Queens travel in ventilated cages with attendant bees and candy, dispatched to arrive quickly and safely across the EU.
Queen Breeds
Buckfast
A composite breed developed by Brother Adam at Buckfast Abbey. Known for gentleness, very low swarming tendency, strong honey yields and excellent disease resistance. A great all-round choice for both hobby and commercial beekeepers.
Carnica (Karnika)
Apis mellifera carnica — the Carniolan honey bee. Extremely calm on the comb, fast spring build-up, economical with winter stores and good orientation. Well suited to the Northern-European climate.
Italian (Ligustica)
Apis mellifera ligustica. Prolific brood layers with large, productive colonies, light colouring and a gentle temperament. Excellent comb builders and strong foragers in a long season.
