Northern Queens

[Jeffzhear]

I'd like to buy 12 northern queens which have been bred from a breeder on BeeSource who is located along or above lat. 41.955 (PA/NY line) and have them delivered ASAP. I don't want queens that were moved from the south to the north. While I am not particular on the breed, I would like options to choose from. I have carni's, italian, russian crosses, and mutts at the moment and want a hearty mite resistant line that I could put in a newly (to be) established and somewhat isolated yard. If you have bear resistant bees that would be a plus! (JK'ing and thinking of a queen breeder friend here on BS who recently had bear problems) Please PM me with your thoughts. Thanks, Jeff

I do have queens for sale grafted from my best stock, mostly carniolian.

www.ziaqueenbees.com uses breeder queens that have survived an upper peninsula Michigan winter. Good service, acceptance, laying pattern.

I have no connection other than a happy customer.

regards to Zia queens- does anyone know how early in the season they have queens available?

Or does anyone know of other SOUTHERN breeders who raise (overwintered / survivor) "northern" stock complete with northern drone colonies -- AND have queens ready early in the spring?

After quite a bit of searching, I am surprised that more breeders are not into something like this- considering the number of early spring queens ordered from Cali, Kona, SE US...

thanks!

I have some Queens, If anyone is interested some were grafted in June and some in July. They have good laying pattern. I guess you could say the are open mated Sullivan County queens. Pm if anyone is interested.
