2022 Spring Honey Bee Queens – Sterling Honey Bee Company

We are taking reservations for Spring 2022 queens. Will begin being ready for local pickup early to mid-May through July (we do not ship as we feel this is detrimental to queen acceptance and health).

First reserve first serve. Their genetics are a mix from mostly Russian, but some Saskatraz, Caniolan, and Caucasian stock. We’ll give you a phone call to arrange a time and day for local pickup a week+ prior. If you are in a club or someone placing a larger order = 30+ queens/10+ nucs, we can arrange to deliver within 60-mile radius of our location near the fish hatchery at Cave Run Lake, with full payment up-front. Reserve yours now, as they will go quick. Please specify if you want your queen marked (free); we do not clip.

We graft from queens that produce gentle, productive bees, that can survive Verroa mites with adequate bee husbandry.

If you are a new beekeeper that would like to get inside a hive and learn some basics, let us know in the comment section at check out and we’ll schedule your pick-up date/time to allow for some instructional time. Bring a suit! 😊
