Queen Bees AustraliaGentle Genetics from the Red Centre
Bred in the isolation of Alice Springs for productivity, gentleness, and disease resistance.
Why Source Queens from the Red Centre?
Alice Springs offers a unique advantage for queen bee breeding: Isolation. Separated by hundreds of kilometres of desert, our apiaries are naturally protected from many of the pests and diseases that affect coastal populations.
Ligurian x Italian Genetics
Our stock is derived from a blend of Kangaroo Island Ligurian and Italian genetics. We select specifically for:
- Gentleness: Ideal for urban beekeepers and hobbyists.
- Productivity: Proven honey gatherers in harsh conditions.
- Hygienic Behaviour: Strong natural resistance mechanisms.
"The girls are calm, productive, and handle the heat better than anything else we've tried."
