Alice Springs offers a breeding advantage most operations can't match: genuine isolation. Our apiaries sit hundreds of kilometres from coastal populations, naturally protected from many of the pests and diseases that cycle through more densely managed areas.
The heat, the dryness, and the hard seasons mean only the strong colonies carry on. What comes out of this environment is tough, productive, and calm.
Stock derived from Kangaroo Island Ligurian and Italian lines, selected over multiple seasons for:
“The girls are calm, productive, and handle the heat better than anything else we've tried.”
NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, ACT, NT, and TAS. Not WA — quarantine restrictions prohibit it.
Express post in cages with attendants and candy. Queens arrive healthy and ready to introduce.
Additional biosecurity clearances required. Register your interest and we'll walk you through what's needed.
Register your interest with your postcode, how many queens you need, and your preferred timing. No payment is taken upfront. When the season opens and queens are ready, we'll contact you with pricing and available dispatch slots to confirm your order.
Yes. We ship to NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS, ACT, and NT, subject to biosecurity requirements. We do not ship to Western Australia due to quarantine restrictions.
Our breeding program uses Ligurian x Italian lines selected for calm temperament, productivity, and adaptation to hot, dry conditions. The isolation of Alice Springs means our stock is naturally protected from many coastal pests and diseases.
Postcode tells us your state and region so we can confirm shipping eligibility, flag any biosecurity requirements specific to your location, and give you an accurate dispatch window. Tasmania, for example, requires additional clearances that affect timing.
Yes, but Tasmanian orders require additional biosecurity approvals. Register your interest and we'll contact you directly about the specific requirements and timing for your location.
Availability is seasonal and depends on breeding conditions in Alice Springs. Queens are raised in batches and dispatched when they're fully mated and ready to lay. Register your timing preference and we'll match you to the right batch when the season opens.
