Caucasian bees are renowned for their calm and gentle temperament, making them a favourite among beekeepers. Handling them is a breeze, and their docile nature makes them ideal for beekeepers of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned veterans. Whether you're tending to your hives for pleasure or profit, these queens ensure a pleasurable beekeeping experience.


One of the standout features of Caucasian queens is their moderate build up and low propensity to swarming While not as prolific as their Buckfast counterparts, they make up for it with their ability to build strong colonies over a more prolonged period, thus avoiding some of the early season challenges with swarming. This strength is particularly valuable for late-season crops such as heather, where robust colonies are essential for optimal pollination and honey production. The Caucasian Mated Queens hit optimal numbers for a bumper heather honey crop!

Their resilience and adaptability make them well-suited for various environments, making them an excellent choice for beekeepers worldwide, but very much suited to UK conditions.
