The Dark Bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) is the native bee breed of Western Europe — present on the continent for thousands of years, long before the introduction of other subspecies. If you want to buy a Dark Bee queen, you are choosing heritage genetics selected for hardiness, frugality, and the ability to produce in climatic conditions that other bee breeds often struggle to tolerate.
At Bienenzucht-Profi, we offer high-quality genetically selected mated Dark Bee queens: mating-station bred with controlled drone lines and as F0 island-mated Dark Bee queens for conservation and breeding projects. All our Dark Bee queens are checked for egg-laying before shipment, marked with the color of the year (paint or Opalith tag), and shipped via express delivery with live arrival guarantee. Our sale of mated Dark Bee queens covers France, Belgium, and the entire European Union. Available from March to October.
