Frequently Asked Questions
Are Buckfast Queen Bees suitable for beginner beekeepers?
Yes, our Buckfast Queen Bees for sale are great choices for both beginners and experienced beekeepers. Their honey production, wintering ability, and varroa tolerance and resistance can help reduce common beekeeping challenges, such as disease management. Their ability to thrive in various conditions makes them user-friendly, especially for those looking to maximize honey output or maintain healthy colonies with less intrusion.
How can I introduce a Buckfast Queen Bee to an existing hive?
Start by placing the Buckfast Queen Bee in a queen cage inside the hive with a candy plug. Allow the worker bees a few days to become accustomed to her pheromones before releasing her into the hive. Make sure the colony is queenless before introducing the new queen, and monitor the hive after her release to ensure she is accepted and begins to lay eggs with varroa tolerance.
How soon will I see results after introducing a Buckfast Queen Bee?
You may see initial changes in your Buckfast project in 1-2 weeks as the queen begins to lay eggs and influence the behavior of the worker bees. However, it may take a full brood cycle (around 21 days) to see the selected breeder queen’s effects on honey production, wintering ability, disease resistance, and colony growth of Buckfast bees.
