Our queen cells are carefully grafted from our very own selected breeder queens by our highly skilled and experienced staff members. The queen cells are placed into strong starter colonies that are fed natural pollen, MegaBee™ and sugar syrup to help promote vigorous pupae growth.

Queen cells are then transferred to strong finisher colonies and again fed natural pollen, MegaBee™ and sugar syrup to promote vigorous growth and wellbeing. Queen cells are transferred either straight in to nuc’s or into the incubators ready for sale. 

We only allow queen cells of a certain size and weight to make it to our nuc’s or incubators, all other cells are culled out. We believe this strict process allows us to control the quality of our queens from the start.

• We only supply queens from our top breeder queens that are proven to be productive in the field, produce strong healthy hives and show signs of good hygienic behaviour.
• From breeder queen selection, grafting and raising our queens you can be sure that each step of the process is done right, and with care.

The genetic diversities that we include into our genetic lines:

• Production and Hygienic Behaviour Traits.
• Temperament.
• Vigour.
• Winter Survival Rate.
• Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) traits.
• Swarming Behaviour.

Unfortunately, ApiLife Limited does not provided warranties on any purchases of cells. This is due to the fragile nature of cells in transport. We highly recommend all cells purchased are picked up in person. We can guarantee all cells are alive and disease free before being sold.
