    I am not sure if you can find a list but most I know have been buying them from Ferguson Apiaries out of Canada, he has came to meeting in North Carolina the past few years and brought queens people have ordered, but maybe some might know someone that you can buy from that has bought queens from him. Maybe danno1800 can help you, he has some of those queens. If I were you Before I ordered a couple queens I would see about getting a bigger order up between your club or something, cost for queens and inspection plus shipping from there is high..

    I've ordered some of those Canadian Buckfast. Good bees, but they are not available until July and August. If you make summe splits, then it's no problem.

    weaver apiaries in Navasota, TX sells buckfast queens

    tecumseh:
    that would be rweaver and not bweaver. bweaver now sells only one variety of queen and I don't think they advertise them as buckfast.

    I bought a rweaver queen....meanest bees in the yard. Bought 2 from ferguson's. 1 to to replace miss nasty and one for a split. Both are doing great, nice bees to work with.
    When I sent an e-mail asking about availability, Bill sent me an e-mail saying they had just completed island mating some queens with buckfast from denmark. I plan on buying more for august 2010 requeening.
