2008 Breeder Queen Price List

Latshaw Apiaries is proud to offer instrumentally inseminated Aurea and Karnica breeder queens to the beekeeping industry.  I offer the highest quality breeder queens and stand behind their performance.  Breeder queens are available for shipment June through September, depending on the weather conditions in our area.  I prefer to ship your breeder queens the year before they are actually used as a grafting source.  This will ensure the queens have plenty of time to become established so that you can view their performance and the queens will be ready for grafting when you need them the following spring.

I am hesitant to sell individual breeder queens as I think it does a disservice to beekeepers.  The primary reason is because a certain amount of genetic diversity is beneficial for your operation and by re-queening your operation with queens from a single breeder queen you are reducing genetic diversity.
