Our Buckfast queens (unmated) come from high-quality Paul Jungels breeding lines based on the principles of Brother Adam. They are the perfect choice for beekeepers who want to carry out their own breeding or controlled mating.
Why an unmated Buckfast queen?
Unmated queens enable the individual selection of the drone line, whether through mating at the mating site or natural mating at the hive. They come from strong and efficient mother colonies that have been specifically selected for gentleness, honey production and swarm inertia.
Characteristics of our Buckfast queens:
✅ Gentle and honeycomb-resistant – Perfect for stress-free colony management.
✅ High honey yield – Strong colony development and above-average yields.
✅ Swarm yields – Low swarming tendency for efficient beekeeping.
✅ Flexible use – Ideal for mating in hives or mating in stands.
✅ Healthy & robust genetics – Derived from proven breeding lines.
📜 A valid health certificate is enclosed and will be supplied on collection or dispatch.
