Reserve for Spring 2026 delivery now. 2025 laying queen (marked blue), successfully over-wintered in Sharonville, with 9 deep frames of drawn comb, holding resources and brood, and covered with bees, installed in YOUR, repeat your, hive hardware (bottom board, deep box, top cover), at my location. This in not a package, or a NUC. It's a mature colony, ready to yield honey by July 2026.
Delivery available ($1/mile, $30 min, bring me your hardware prior), or participate in the installation at my place and take them home same day.
Varroa mites suppressed (oxalic acid vapor). Small hive beetles too.
A trivial deposit ($1) will hold your place in line.
Pictured is a typical queen, just marked blue AFTER a good laying pattern was established in the NUC last year.
