Live Mated Queen Bee available for pick up or delivery in the Northern Rivers Region - Byron Bay, Lismore, Casino, Nimbin, Kyogle, Ballina, Mullumbimby & surrounds.
About our Live F1 Mated Queen Bees
The Beegentics™ F1 Queen Bee is bred for balance, strength and dependability. Raised from proven breeder lines in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, each queen is selected for calm temperament, resilience and exceptional hygienic behaviour - the core traits every beekeeper values.
These first-generation queens inherit robust genetics designed for real Australian conditions. They produce steady, manageable colonies that maintain clean brood nests and demonstrate natural resistance to pests and diseases such as Varroa and chalkbrood.
Ideal for hobbyist, sideline and commercial operations, Beegentics™ queens consistently deliver strong brood patterns, excellent productivity and colonies that are easier to inspect and manage.
Key Traits:
| Trait | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Calm temperament | Bees remain steady on the comb and are less likely to sting, allowing safer, low-stress inspections. |
| Hygienic behaviour | Workers efficiently remove infected or dead brood, reducing the spread of disease and limiting Varroa reproduction. |
| Resilient genetics | Open-mated with locally adapted drones to increase colony vigour and survival across changing climates. |
| Strong brood pattern | Consistent laying with minimal drone scatter — a reliable indicator of queen health and fertility. |
| Excellent productivity | Balanced lines that build well, perform reliably and maintain stable behaviour without excessive swarming. |
