Price List

Unmarked Mated Queens: Minnesota Hygienic Italian

Minnesota Hygienic Italian Queens are a breed of Italian Honey Bees developed by D. Marla Spivak at the University of Minnesota Bee Lab. These Italian bees have been specifically bred with the goal of continued selection of VSH traits (Varroa sensitive hygiene) to help reduce the impact of Varroa Destructor in the hive. We prefer Italian Queens for the Texas climate due to the increased brood rearing that helps us take advantage of nectar flows for honey production.
