Dadant US Bee Colony with a Mated Queen and Healthy Bee Population

Each Carnica Gehlberg Bee Colony Dadant US 2026 comes with a strong bee population and a proven, mated queen from reliable breeding. We use descendants of direct purebred queens so that the positive traits of the Carnica Gehlberg line are preserved over time.

The queen is already firmly integrated into the colony and can move freely. This ensures calm colony development, an even brood pattern, and stable further growth after installation.

Before shipping, all bee colonies are thoroughly checked for health. On request, a health certificate can also be included. In addition, treatment against varroa mites is carried out before dispatch, so that another treatment is generally not required until the following season.
