BREEDING & SELECTION
Selection begins in the apiary, with colony observation and consistent work over successive generations.
01 — BREEDING & SELECTION
Our breeding work focuses mainly on Buckfast, while also allowing a place for Carnica. Choosing a queen depends on your practice, environment and goals.
Beyond the name of a line, observed behaviour and actual colony development matter.
02 — BREEDING & SELECTION
Observing bee behaviour and ease of working in the apiary.
Following colony development and adaptation to local conditions.
Considering traits of interest within a sustained selection programme.
03 — BREEDING & SELECTION
VSH and SMR are selection goals in our work concerning Varroa. Observations need context and follow-up over time. A breeding objective is not a guarantee of resistance.
We do not present our bees as fully Varroa-resistant. Selection does not replace colony health monitoring.
04 — BREEDING & SELECTION
Breeding may use different mating methods, including instrumental insemination. The method and origin of each queen are information to discuss for your project.
F0 or F1 queens, Buckfast or Carnica: tell us your region, practice and requirements. Availability, prices, dates and arrangements are confirmed directly.
A QUESTION, A PROJECT?
Describe what you need and your preferred timing. We will discuss the possibilities and conditions with you directly.
