2009 Breeder Queens

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 the central Ohio 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.

The Aurea and Karnica stock I have developed offer unsurpassed quality.  The price charged for breeder queens reflects the great deal of time and energy invested in their development and continuous genetic evaluation.  I take great pride in the stock I have developed, and I prefer to work with other beekeepers who also take great pride in their bees.  The production of instrumentally inseminated breeder queens requires great attention to detail and a sound understanding of honey bee genetics.  My objective is to assist you with the selection of the proper breeder queens for your operation's success.

I prefer to sell breeder queens in groups.  I am hesitant to sell individual breeder queens as I think it does a disservice to beekeepers primarily because genetic diversity is beneficial for your operation.  Re-queening your operation with queens from a single breeder queen reduces critical genetic diversity.
