Notice! We accept orders for instrumentally inseminated queens for 3 more days (until May 31)!

Greetings beekeepers!

For just 3 more days (until May 31st) we are accepting orders for instrumentally inseminated queen bees for the 2024 season! Don't miss out and place your order now on our website https://www.smilga-spalvina.lv/queen-shop/

This year, we offer instrumentally inseminated Buckfast, Ligustica (Finnish Italian), Carnica, and Carnica-Carphatian cross queen bees. Instrumentally inseminated queen bees will be delivered to their new homes to beekeepers starting from mid-July until mid-August.

All queens and used drones are reared from selected breeder queens, tested in our apiaries. Upon receiving the queens, the beekeeper will also receive information on the origin of the queens and used drones.

In order for us to be able to send European honey bee Apis mellifera queens to other EU countries, a mandatory veterinary health certificate must be attached to queen bee shipments. The buyer have to be registered in the TRACES NT system with the code: Terrestrial animal establishment (HBEE-EST). This can be easily done  by calling local veterinary service. Read more on our web page section: HEALTH CERTIFICATE TRACES NT.

With sunny regards, Agnese Smilga-Spalviņa
