Instrumentally Inseminated Slovenian Carnica Breeder Queens

Linage - Slovenian Carnica (Sue Cobey’s) Queen X New World Carnica (Sue Cobey’s)

Instrumentally Inseminated (a.k.a Artificially Inseminated) Slovenian Carnica Breeder Queens. We introduce our queens to a small nucleus colony and are laying for at-least 3 weeks prior to shipping. Our Instrumentally Inseminated queens comes with parental details, clipped and marked using plastic numbered disc.

Please note: When starting a new beehive, you need to purchase a package of bees with a queen, not just a queen. Without the 2 or 3 pounds of bees to take care of her, the queen cannot survive and will die. These Instrumentally Inseminated breeder queens are not for running full size production colonies. The importance of these queens are in the genetic traits they are breed for.

This line of breeder queens comes directly from the work of Sue Cobey. Our breeder queens come with over 75% of Slovenian Carnica genetics and crossed with Sue’s New World Carnica or with other Carnica breeder stock. This stock shows quick build up, very calm in combs and shows an acute disease resistance. I had the privilege to see this stock while I attended the training program at Sue’s place. One of the very docile bees I have seen in my work with bees.
