Any Northern queens available for mid June?

Prefer something that is mostly Russian.

Mike Palmer, from VT, sells them. Though not until later in the year. PM him.

I would use Mike first, if he doesn't have any available try

Carnolians. He has survivor queens, doesn't treat his breeding colonies.

I'm going to continue my search, but so far I haven't found anything.

I think March would have been a good time to look for June queens.

Are you looking for North east queens? or just northern queens?

Last time i checked old sol still had some avalible queens for june though it was two or three weeks ago

not sure but maybe vp queens or lagrants?

Charles Andros, Linden Apiaries, Walpole NH - 603-756-9056.
clipped and white-marked, hygienic, winter-hardy, gentle, mated New World Carniolan x Italian queen bees
He'll ship.

Just want to point this out,...Charles Andros queens are often from Calif. breeders, although he is expecting to get some from a NY State breeder sometime soon. Best to ask him beforehand just where his queens are from. Charley is a good guy to deal with, though, and always has lots of interesting info to share about the business of beekeeping.

Northeast would be a big plus, and mostly Russian...

I may move some brood from my Charlie Harper queens into non-Russian splits next month. The farm where I keep some bees may have some feral bees around.



Thanks for the suggestions.

A week ago, Mike Johnston in Eaton NY still had queens available. http://www.johnstonshoneybeefarm.com/

FYI-These are not "survivor queens" they are raised here in MA, but treated regularly.

I bought a nuc from Mike two years ago that was very nice.

Mike's queens (Bjorn Apiaries) are by far the best I've purchased in years. I've bought from him on two occasions. I requeened with them a couple of years ago and I'm totally satisfied.

I should have a batch or two of Russian queens at 21 days in laying by mid June. The queens are pure Russian, but open mated. PM me if interested or need further details.
