If your spring packages have not been specifically bred for mite & disease resistance, consider re-queening with our proven stock later in the season to better insure the health and survivability of your investment. Unlike southern breeders, our climate prevents us from producing spring Queens...we invite you to discover, as we have, the clear advantages of summer/fall re-queening of your spring packages; splits; and overwintered colonies with our hardy, resistant stock:
- Young, well-mated queens will continue to produce brood later into the fall.
- Supplemental feeding of protein patties and syrup provides adequate nutrition insuring the development of necessary fat reserves in the late summer/fall emerging brood. Resulting in improved winter survivability.
- Our queens produce conservative winter clusters that will build-up quickly in the spring as soon as feed becomes available.
- Be aware that the best of Q's can't save colonies already heavily infested with mites. To create an environment capable of supporting your new queen's maturing offspring, we recommend treating with "soft" controls (such as Apilife Var; Apiguard; Hopguard; or Formic Acid) 1 month prior to re-queening!
