Instrumentally Inseminated (a.k.a Artificially Inseminated) Caucasian 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.
