Queen Options
Laying queens
These are laying VSH queens that have been artificially inseminated with semen from drones that carry the VSH alleles. They will have been laying in nucs prior to shipping. Earliest target date for shipping is May 13, 2024. Their cost is $300 each plus shipping. Maximum order is two queens.
Not-yet-laying queens
These queens are the same queens as above, just younger. They are shipped about five days after insemination, when about two weeks old. A not-yet-laying queen is more difficult to introduce than a laying queen. Experience in introducing not-yet-laying queens is advised. Their cost is $200 each plus shipping. Earliest target date for shipping is May 13, 2024. Maximum order is two queens.
