This is a #queenbee in her cell, also known as a queen cell. #Honeybee queens have the longest lifespan of their species- up to 5 years- and they only take 16 days to develop! Some have reported longer living queens! In contrast, worker bees take about 21 days to hatch, and live up to a month.

We finally opened up our Website! We are excited to provide high quality #queens to #beekeepers of all experience levels. We offer #VSH Queen #bees, #Mite Maulers, and #Indiana Leg chewers. We have #Italians and #carniolans.

With over 10 years of #beekeeping experience, we have decided to transition to the commercial and small business aspect of #Apiculture. Feel free to ask questions, and don't forget to follow us for more tips, tricks, and information about our business or beekeeping in general!

We are a small, startup business. Our hope is to contribute to the efforts of various researchers and beekeepers alike.
Our end goal? To reduce or eliminate miticide and pesticide use in Honeybee colonies through selective breeding. We use both natural mating methods, and Instrumental Insemination.

Hello and welcome to my page! Here I will be posting content about our business, discoveries, best practices, and more.
Join us on our journey as we discover what it means to be a beekeeper, and what it's like to care for mankind's most prized insect- the European Honeybee!
