The Advantages

Flexible If you don’t get all the splits done, the queen can be held overnight till tomorrow.

“I was told that virgin queens was relatively new to New Zealand. At that time my only other option was raise my own queens with frames of eggs under an emergency impulse. So was only too happy to try virgin queens. In total over the season have brought 31 virgin queens and the number of fails I had was 2. Found Beaut Bees to be very helpful with good communication so no down time waiting. Looking forward to spring.” Myles Cookson, Clevedon "I get lots of virgin queens from Beaut Bees as it saves time, allows for flexibility and costs little. I prefer the virgins as I get between 85 to 95 percent mated nucs and a laying queen 3 to 5 days earlier than a cell. The queens from Beaut Bees are big and great layers and service is responsive and friendly.” Edoardo Canal, Ed Bee, Kawau island “Very happy with my virgin bees from Beaut Bees, first time I've used them and will definitely be buying more this season thanks.” Paul Goodyear, Warkworth “This was our first season using Beaut Bees virgin caged queens. Prompt communication and delivery. We found these queens a good and cost eective way to re-queen our hives. Definitely will be using them next season.” Jonathan Lee, Thames “Awesome service and healthy strong queens… the result = stronger hives”. Gary Hendriks, Matamata
