There has been much discussion in the past year about purchasing queen bees that have been vaccinated against diseases so she can pass it down to her offspring. But what if you like the genetics of your queen? Or you’ve paid a good penny for that special queen?The answer is here! We are now selling the vaccine in a queen cage so you can vaccinate your own. It comes complete with simple to follow instructions. Plus the time that the queen is out of the hive also gives you a brood break and affords you the opportunity to treat your colony. Vaccine will have a USE BY date and must be refrigerated as soon as received.The cages, a swedish sponge, and step by step instructions will be available the beginning of May and again in July. Youmay order them online or over the phone.
