Welcome to Simple Beekeeping UK. We are now taking orders for variety of high quality natural mated queens in UK. 2024 Buckfast, Meda, Elgon, Carniolan, Italian and Carpathian naturally mated queens are going to be available at the end of May. Queens are in the mating nucs for a minimum of 4 weeks and are only harvested from sealed brood. This allows time to observe the laying pattern and viability of the queen. Queens are marked with dot and are posted in a cage. Available from late May / June We use Royal Mail Special Recorded Delivery to ship our queens. Once shipped you will receive them by 1pm next day. Postage cost £10
