Apis mellifera ligustica – Colony and Queen United

Discover the advantages of our station-mated Ligustica bees, highly valued by professional beekeepers worldwide. Apis mellifera ligustica, originally from Italy, is a widely distributed bee subspecies found in North America, France, Scandinavia, Australia, England, and Israel. This yellow-colored bee originates from regions ranging from South Tyrol to Calabria and has developed various ecotypes, from leather-brown tones in the northwest to bright yellow in central northern Italy.

Our Ligustica queens are from the current season and marked with the official color of the year. Before removal from the mating nucleus, each queen is checked for egg-laying performance to ensure successful mating. This guarantees smooth introduction into your hive and a reliable start to the colony’s development.

Advantages of Station-Mated Ligustica Bees

• Gentle temperament and low swarming tendency: ideal for beginners

• High productivity for impressive honey yields

• Longevity and strong resistance to diseases and everyday challenges

In addition, our Ligustica artificial swarms are treated against Varroa mites prior to delivery, meaning no further spring treatment is required. You receive healthy, vigorous young bees ready for a successful season. Expand your apiary with our high-quality Ligustica artificial swarms and benefit from our experience and expertise.
