2023 Golden Italian Queens

These Italians are golden in color and are excellent honey producers for areas that have extended honey flows. Their large colony populations enable them to collect and process large volumes of nectar efficiently. They are a great breed for making splits to increase colony numbers throughout the season.

These queens come the Hawaiian Queen Company. We have a standing order for 400 queens a year to arrive the last week of March. This is the only way to have premium quality bred queens to make up our nucs each year in March.

You will receive pick-up instruction emails the week prior to your pick up date.

You can pick-up your bees on your date anytime between 11:00AM and 6:00PM

We want you to be able to purchase the highest quality bees possible. To do this we build your hives, nucs and packages to order. This makes pickup scheduling very important.

$25 Order Change Fee – Please Read

Timing is critical to the quality of your bees. Because of this, we are now charging a $25 change order/restocking fee whenever a pickup date is changed. When you select your bees for purchase you are choosing pickup locations and pickup dates. Please make sure that your location and dates will work for you before you place your order. It is our desire to make the order and pickup process as easy as possible for our customers. At the same time, it is our desire that we deliver the very best quality bees possible. Thank you for your help!
