BEE BREEDING
From our apiary or yours!
BREEDER QUEENS
From Our Apiary
We proudly maintain breeding lines that have been passed down through generations. We maintain 9 lines of Italians and 7 lines of Caucasian x Carniolians (CCx).
Our Italian base stock consists of lines from the Australian National Queen Bee Breeding Program and the CCx is derived from South Australian's own Trevor Bain's lines. Like those before us, we continue to select for honey production, temperament, pest and disease resistance, and adaptation to Australia's unique climates. More information about the lines to come shortly.
​
We supply breeder queens to commercial queen producers and honey producers who find joy rearing their own queens.
​
We are currently accepting orders for the 2023-2024 Australian bee season.
TECHNICAL INSEMINATION SERVICES
From Your Apiary
Now you can have a direct impact on bee breeding in your own operation. You provide genetic material of your favourite colonies via either virgin queens or drones, or both and we do our magic with artificial insemination. We establish queens in nucleus colonies and make arrangements to get the queens back to you. We are proud to be one of the only organisations in Australia to offer this unique service.
STOCK IMPORTATION ASSISTANCE
Leading Experts
We lead the beekeeping industry in stock importation services. Having experience with both live queen import through the Mickleham Post Entry Quarantine facility and drone semen importation, we are proud to assist the Australian beekeeping industry in accessing honey bee genetics from overseas.
