-- Meyer Bees announced the continued availability of Italian queen bees, highlighting their significant contribution to colony stability and commercial honey production. As the industry standard, Italian queen bees offer traits that align directly with sustainable hive management and consistent yields.
The representative at Meyer Bees stated, “Italian queen bees are the foundation for stable, productive colonies. Their reliability in brood production, foraging, and hive management provides measurable benefits to beekeepers.”
Italian queen bees are known for their strong breeding disposition and prolific laying patterns. This results in balanced colonies with a reliable workforce across the season. Their ability to maintain steady brood production supports hive stability in areas with continuous nectar flow and favorable summer conditions.
The hygienic behavior of Italian bees is another factor Meyer Bees underscores. Their reputation as excellent housekeepers helps control pests and disease. The minimal use of propolis simplifies hive management and supports operational efficiency for beekeepers working at scale.
Field performance is also central to their value. Italian bees exhibit foraging activity, a willingness to occupy supers, and a strong ability to collect nectar from flowers rather than honeydew. These traits support both higher honey volumes and consistent product quality. Their comb-building ability results in clean honey storage with bright white cappings, making extraction and storage more efficient.
From a management standpoint, Italian bees exhibit gentleness and a lower swarming tendency than other Western honey bee races. This reduces disruptions to hive operation, minimizes losses, and strengthens long-term colony reliability. Their predictable temperament enhances beekeeper safety and facilitates easier handling of the bees.
The firm representative added, “We supply these queens because their performance directly supports both commercial productivity and the broader role of bees in agriculture.”
Meyer Bees assures that Italian queen bees remain the industry’s most reliable foundation for both small-scale and large-scale beekeeping operations. Their established track record confirms their place as the standard in queen selection for honey production and pollination.
