Organic Buckfast Package Bees – Station-Mated Queen
Product information "Carnica VSH Queen – Station-Mated, AGT Gehlberg"
Carnica Queen Bee Gehlberg AGT – Varroa Tolerance Breeding (VSH)
The station-mated Carnica queen bee Gehlberg AGT comes from a targeted varroa tolerance breeding programme. Alongside the classic Carnica traits, selection focuses in particular on vitality, varroa tolerance and the hygienic behaviour known as VSH – Varroa Sensitive Hygiene.
Mating takes place at the Gehlberg tolerance mating station with selected Carnica drone colonies. With each queen you receive the corresponding breeding card or breeding certificate, which clearly documents her origin and the associated breeding information.
Carnica queen from the Gehlberg tolerance mating station
At a tolerance mating station, the drone colonies intended for mating are specifically selected according to defined criteria. At Gehlberg, particular emphasis is placed on vitality and on traits that can help to improve varroa tolerance.
The geographical conditions support more controlled mating with the intended drone colonies, although the Oberhof mating station is also located nearby. The queen is offered exclusively as a Carnica queen mated at the Gehlberg mating station.
Varroa tolerance breeding and VSH
VSH stands for Varroa Sensitive Hygiene and describes a hygienic behaviour in which worker bees can detect and remove brood cells infested with varroa mites. This behaviour can help to limit the reproduction of varroa mites within the bee colony.
Varroa tolerance breeding aims to promote these traits through targeted selection and mating. However, the term does not mean that a bee colony is completely resistant to varroa mites. Regular infestation checks and a varroa control strategy suited to your location remain essential.
Documented breeding origin
A Gehlberg mating station breeding card is issued for the Carnica queen. It allows the queen to be clearly identified and contains information on her breeding origin.
The following herd book numbers are given for the Gehlberg breeding selection:
- DE-2-221-57-2018
- DE-16-75-3133-2018
- DE-7-45-878-2018
The trait and breeding value data documented for this selection are as follows:
| Trait | Stated values |
|---|---|
| Honey yield | 115 / 108 / 109 / 119 % |
| Gentleness | 108 / 119 / 116 / 124 % |
| Calmness on the comb | 105 / 115 / 115 / 121 % |
| Low swarming tendency | 116 / 117 / 119 / 114 % |
| Varroa tolerance | 124 / 115 / 107 / 118 % |
| Average breeding value | 121 / 118 / 115 / 124 % |
The values refer to the documented breeding lines. The actual development and behaviour of the offspring are also shaped by location, nectar flow, weather, colony management and other genetic influences.
Desired traits of the Carnica queen
In the breeding selection of the Carnica Gehlberg AGT, the focus is on traits including the following:
- Pronounced hygienic behaviour
- Promotion of varroa tolerance
- Gentleness during handling
- Good calmness on the comb
- Lowest possible swarming tendency
- Vigorous colony development
- Good foraging and honey yield
These details describe breeding goals. Identical expression of all traits in the offspring cannot be guaranteed.
Quality control before dispatch
Every queen is checked before delivery. The check includes in particular:
- Inspection of general state of health
- Verification of successful egg-laying
- Check of fitness for shipping
- Marking in the relevant year colour
- Allocation of the matching breeding card
On request, you will receive a health certificate by email after the queen has arrived. The breeding card documents pedigree and breeding information, whereas the health certificate relates to health status.
Gentle express shipping in an introduction cage
The queen is shipped by express in packaging specially suited to queen bees. She travels in an introduction cage accompanied by sufficient attendant bees, and food is provided for the duration of the journey.
The short transit time is intended to keep stress on the queen and her attendants to a minimum. Express shipping is possible within Germany and – depending on the destination country and the applicable shipping conditions – abroad.
Delivery period and date notification
When ordering, you can choose the offered delivery period of early June or late June. We will notify you of the exact shipping or delivery date approximately 1–7 days in advance.
Please provide a valid email address and telephone number with your order, so that we can reliably reach you if we have any questions or need to change the date. Please let us know about any planned absences as early as possible, so that we can take them into account when planning shipping wherever possible.
As availability depends on development, mating success, egg-laying, quality control and the weather, the planned date may be postponed. The quality of the queen and her safe fitness for shipping take priority in our planning.
Combination with Carnica package bees
If you wish, the Carnica queen Gehlberg AGT can be ordered together with a queenless Carnica package. To do so, add the desired queen and a queenless package to your basket.
Note in the order comment field that the queen and package should be shipped together. The combination and possible joint shipment will then be arranged according to the planned delivery period.
