-- Meyer Bees, based in Minooka, Illinois, has announced the availability of mated queen bees for sale. The company specializes in producing queen bees from survivor stock, offering beekeepers in the region a reliable source of bees suited to the climate of the Chicagoland area. The company has built a reputation for its consistent, high-quality stock and is committed to helping maintain strong and resilient beekeeping operations.
"Our queen honey bees for sale are produced locally from survivor stock in our Minooka, IL mating yard," said a representative for Meyer Bees.
Meyer Bees evaluate their apiaries to identify colonies that exhibit the traits desired by beekeepers. These include the ability of the colony and mother queen to survive one or more Chicagoland winters, the production of at least 125 pounds of excess honey in the prior year, and the presence of a calm temperament that makes the bees more straightforward to manage. Also, Meyer Bees provides queens that resist common issues such as mites and disease, which are critical factors in maintaining a healthy and productive hive.
The company's approach to producing high-quality queen bees involves selecting the best mother queens from their top-performing colonies. These mother queens are then grafted to produce daughter queens mated in Meyer Bees' apiary in Minooka. This careful breeding process ensures that each queen is well-suited to thrive in the local climate and meet beekeepers' expectations.
"We select top-performing colonies to produce mother queens, which are grafted to produce daughter queens," the representative added.
The company's dedication to producing healthy, resilient queen bees is a cornerstone of its operations. Meyer Bees supports the local beekeeping community by providing bees suited to the Chicagoland climate.
