British Mated Queens from BMH
At Black Mountain Honey, we take pride in offering a diverse selection of UK mated queen bees. We sell our own UK mated queens which are available between the end of May to August each season. We also sell Scottish Queen Bees from Jolanta, the head of Denrosa Apiaries UK queen rearing unit in Scotland.
Our UK Mated Queens and British Queen Bees are only available for a short period each year due to the UK climate. The required conditions for a successful UK queen mating are only achievable for two or three months per season, which is why we supplement our UK mated queen offering with early season imported queens, which are bred specifically for the UK climate.
