Buckfast queen 2025 -VSH mated-

Our 2025 Buckfast queens come from the proven Paul Jungels breeding lines, which are based on the principles of Brother Adam. They are mated at the renowned VSH mating station in Fingig (L) and are characterized by gentleness, strong colony development and improved Varroa resistance.

Why a mated Buckfast queen?

Controlled mating at a mating station guarantees that the queen is mated with selected drones. Only drones from resistant and high-performing colonies are used at the VSH mating station in Fingig. This ensures targeted selection for Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH).

Characteristics of our Buckfast queens:

✅ Gentle and honeycomb-resistant – Quiet work on the colony, ideal for beginners and professional beekeepers.
✅ High honey yield – Strong colony development and above-average yields.
✅ Swarm yields – Reduced tendency to swarm, fewer swarm inspections necessary.
