Product information "Buckfast Queen – Open-Mated"
The open-mated Buckfast queen bee at a glance
Our open-mated Buckfast queen bee stands out for her gentle temperament and low swarming tendency. Before every shipment, we carry out a thorough inspection so that you only receive healthy, productive Buckfast queens. Every shipment comes with a corresponding health certificate. The queen arrives in an introduction cage with attendant bees and sufficient food. Delivery is by post or express shipping and has been optimised to keep stress for the bees as low as possible.
Open-mated Buckfast queen bee – for the long-term success of your colony
A bee colony cannot survive without a queen – which is why it is important to choose a strong, healthy queen with a stable temperament if you want your colony to thrive in the long term. That is exactly where we come in! The open-mated Buckfast queen has the balanced temperament of the Buckfast bee that Brother Adam bred over so many years. With your order, you receive an open-mated Buckfast queen marked with the current year’s colour. Rearing queens from her is generally possible, but for this we recommend the station-mated version. This Buckfast queen comes from a line of instrumentally inseminated purebred queens, so here too you benefit from the many temperamental advantages of the Buckfast bee. Shipping runs from mid-April to September – once you have ordered, delivery does not take long. If you need the queen at very short notice, please order a station-mated queen and email us your order number. To do so, simply select the delivery period you want for your open-mated Buckfast queen in the menu at the top. If open-mated Buckfast queens are no longer available, you can also choose our station-mated Buckfast queens – these are usually available earlier and in larger numbers.
The advantages of the open-mated Buckfast queen bee
The Buckfast bee is considered one of the most modern bee breeds, yet it builds on a long tradition started by Brother Adam, a Christian monk, at the beginning of the 20th century. His life’s goal was to breed a bee distinguished by impressive vitality and health, combined with a particularly gentle nature and above-average productivity. And with the Buckfast bee, he succeeded! We want to continue this tradition, which is why our online shop offers the open-mated Buckfast queen bee on particularly favourable terms. You always receive a young queen from the current year that has already been open-mated – securing the next generation for the current season.
The many advantages of the open-mated Buckfast queen bee:
- A particularly gentle and calm temperament – ideal for beginners too
- Low swarming tendency, settles in extremely well
- Good yields and productivity
- Excellent health, disease resistance and vitality
- Healthy, large colonies thanks to strong brood rearing

Buy an open-mated Buckfast queen bee
With us, you receive a Buckfast queen that has been open-mated beforehand. This makes it possible to preserve the many advantages of the Buckfast bee in the long term. To maintain genetic diversity – which in turn benefits the health and vitality of the bees – the beekeeper relies on natural open mating at the apiary. So you benefit from our open-mated Buckfast queens in many ways, both in terms of health and in preserving the breed. Of course, the queen is only taken out of the mating nuc once she is already laying eggs.
The benefits of buying your open-mated Buckfast queen bee online
We want to stand out from the competition – which is why we focus on open-mated Buckfast queens of the highest possible quality at a fair price, and on particularly gentle shipping that safeguards the bees’ health. For this, we use special envelopes and cardboard packaging designed and tested specifically for transporting bees. Our introduction cages, in which the open-mated Buckfast queen has enough food and oxygen, are easy to open and give the bees enough space and good access to food. There are also a few attendant bees in the introduction cage, which is also ideal for introducing the queen to your new colony. We inspect the bees thoroughly before dispatch and, on request, include a copy of the health certificate in the package. Would you like to buy an open-mated Buckfast queen bee but are unsure how to introduce her to your colony properly? Read our practical tips on introducing a queen bee .

Gut
Bin sehr zufrieden mit den Königinnen. Hatte diesmal Versandvariante Übernacht-Express gewählt und die Königin war merklich entspannter bei der Ankunft. Nur zu empfehlen!
