It takes a GOOD QUEEN to make a good Colony
A colony is only as good as its queen. The Buckfast strain combines a number of desired characteristics, such as
hardiness, low swarming, gentleness, ease of handling, resistance to disease and honey gathering ability, in a single
bee. That’s why it really does pay to acquire genuine pedigree Buckfast queens.

HOW TO SELECT BREEDER QUEENS
Anyone can select a queen for breeding purposes. But like most professionals we require some statistical evidence to
back up our judgment, so our extensive breeding records and detailed evaluation system helps us to spot the queen that
is suitable for use as a breeder.
