GreenView Aquaponics Family Farm and Apiary is based in Cape Coral, FL on SW Florida's coast and producing Queen Cells & NUCs for sale from April to Oct/Nov.
Italian Queens are known for producing hives that have a high volume of brood year-round. The queens tend to continue to lay eggs regardless of weather, nectar or pollen conditions and many beekeepers, who pollinate in early spring, prefer the Italian genetic stock. Since Italian queens produce large hive populations, it’s very important to keep the colony well fed throughout colder months when bees are unable to forage or periods with high amounts of syrup or honey consumption. Italian Queens will have mixed coloring when they emerge since we allow for healthy, open mating by purchasing our queen mothers from open mated stock N of I-4. They have many fine qualities: the queens are exceptionally prolific, known for a fast spring buildup, gentleness and honey production. From New Beekeepers to Commercial Pollinators and Honey Producers, you can be confident that when you purchase our Queen Cells, you are not only getting a high quality Queen cell with great genetics, but you are getting the benefits of a high-quality control process: from breeder queen selection to colony feeding (to produce quality royal jelly and queen cells), to grafting, incubating and finally getting the queen cells to you. We do all we can to ensure quality and care each step of the process!
