Steve sells bees: "2024 Queens -Our locally mated queens are raised from proven stock. They are Carniolan based and open mated with local drones. This year, we will have daughter queens raised from breeder queens with lineage of Purdue Mite Biters, New World Carniolan, VSH queens and local survivor stock. Color will vary as we select for survivorship, productivity and mite resistance. Prices include marking if desired. Shipping is NOT available.
It is usually best to plan ahead if you can when ordering queens so that you know that we will have them available, although there will be times where accidents happen and you need a queen NOW! Meadow Sweet Apiaries can help you with any of those circumstances! Mated queens will be available starting mid-May. Contact us for availability. Prices are $35 for mated queens."
