Dear fellow beekeepers,
Even though it is only the beginning of January and winter, with its snow and cold weather, is forcing us to take things a little easier, we have already started preparations for the new season.
The lines have been selected, the website and shop have been updated, and we have already set the shipping dates. This means that you can place your orders as usual and secure your Buckfast queen for early shipping.
The 2025/2026 winter newsletter (link available on our homepage) provides insights into our beekeeping philosophy and, of course, tips and information about this season’s lines.
I would particularly like to recommend our B1, which we will overwinter in limited numbers and ship from May onwards. For more information, see Lines.
On 18 May, we will start shipping overwintered queens.
8 June is our first shipping day for commercial queens. One or two weeks later, we will start shipping our breeding queens. You can find more detailed information under Lines.
We believe that this is an interesting pairing, particularly in terms of SMR behaviour and hygiene behaviour, and we have high hopes for it.
We are currently receiving a large number of orders. If you are interested in early queens, we recommend placing your order in our shop as soon as possible.
The bee hotline will be open again from May onwards. We would prefer to receive enquiries by email, as we can respond to these promptly.
With beekeeping regards, Jens Steinfeld
