Saskatraz Hybrid Queen Honey Bees For Sale

Please note: When starting a new bee hive, you need to purchase a package of bees with a queen, not just a queen. Without the 2 or 3 pounds of bees to take care of her, the queen will not be able to survive and will die. These mated queens are for queening an existing hive or splits in the spring time.

Please place a separate order for equipment; queen bees need to be shipped on their own, so any equipment and/or supplies will be billed for shipping separately by our website, and the shipping will be billed as UPS Next Day Air.

Cancellations are not accepted within 3 days of the selected ship out date.

Lappe's Bee Supply offers some of the best mated Saskatraz Hybrid queen bees for sale online! Queens will be shipped from April through the end of August. Queens will arrive in California mini queen cages, or 3 hole queen cages. Regardless of whichever type of queen cage your queen arrives in, there will be a candy plug already in one end filled with queen candy. We recommend leaving this plug in when placing your new queen into the hive. Lappe's Bee Supply is not responsible for anything that happens because the bee keeper makes the choice to remove the candy plug or the queen candy from the queen cage. It is always better to allow her to stay in the queen cage with the candy plug intact, to give the worker bees time to get familiar with her pheromone and get her out of the cage themselves.

Queen honey bees from Lappe's Bee Supply are guaranteed to be alive upon arrival (certain conditions apply). Queen replacement for queens DOA is always at the discretion of LBS and needs to be reported right upon arrival; please contact us with the details. If not reported within 2 hours of the time of arrival, we will not be able to replace or refund any queen bees. We adhere to time of arrival as noted on UPS tracking numbers.

Saskatraz Hybrid Honey Bees Information

Saskatraz hybrid queen bees come from Olivarez Honey Bees in Northern California, who has been producing some of the highest quality honey bee queens for over 50 years. Saskatraz hybrid queen bees originate from Saskatchewan Canada and have been selected for high honey production, good overwintering ability, temperament (these bees have been very gentle to work with), tracheal mite resistance, and varroa mite resistance. The Saskatraz breeding program uses recurrent natural selection to select for varroa tolerance in productive colonies with good economic traits, and queens are crossed with VSH bees to increase varroa resistance. Other traits include: fast spring buildup, which results in increased honey production during the summer honey flows. Drones from these queens carry the genetics of their mother, so use of this stock will incorporate the Saskatraz genes into your existing hives by the natural requeening process.

Saskatraz Hybrid queens have been crossed and open mated with different genetic families, including Italian Hybrid and Carniolan. Since they have such a diverse genetic background, the coloring can be different on the queens, from a lighter yellow color with a black tipped tail, to a tiger striped color, and even a darker black color. We can not guarantee what color of queen you will be receiving, just that it will be a Saskatraz queen. If you are looking for honey bee queens for sale near me, Lappe's Bee Supply is the answer! We make buying a high quality Sasktraz Hybrid queen bee easy with our online ordering process!

    Saskatraz Queen

    Posted by Corey Douglass on Jun 24, 2019

    I have bought several queens this year and all are laying wall to wall and started laying in a day or two. These are great queens. I really want to see how they winter here in Kansas.

    Ordered four of these queens arrived promptly in excellent packaging and plenty of movement by the queens and attendants. Installed in hives on day of arrival and queens are already going to work. Highly recommend, excellent customer service.

    I think I've bought 8 queens this year and all have made it here alive. Don't buy these queens if you don't want wall to wall brood. I was inspecting a hive yesterday and the queen continued to lay while I was holding the frame. Crazy good layers.

    This Is my second year with Saskatraz bees. Gentle bees that over winter very well. These queens are power house layers and store honey very well. Varroa mites do not seem to bother them much, usually very low count. I have requeened all my hives with Saskatraz queens. I highly recommend them.

    Saskatraz Queen

    Posted by Nathan on Jun 01, 2019

    I am trying these for the first season. I am replacing 2 of my current queens with the Saskatraz breed due to a lost queen and a swarm. So far I have nothing bad to say about them They seem to produce in very solid patterns and started producing the day they were let out of the cage. My initial impressions are good and I look forward to seeing how they will perform. I will also be adding another queen as I have caught another swarm. Queen acceptance is relatively quick also. Lappes Bee supply is great to work with and they seem to genuinely care about their customers. Thank you.

    This is my second season of saskatraz queens. I suspect it will take a third season to sell me fully on this fairly new bee. So far they have over wintered well. The speed with which they do things is like bees on crack. Zero time is wasted!!! The saskatraz queens are much smaller than most others, that does not seem to be an issue however. The queen mother lays more eggs than any of my others, even my 100% localized queens. All my saskatraz queens lay virtually a solid patterns. They also tend to lay in a circular pattern. I am highly impressed. I just not 100% sold yet. I do suggest you try them. I cannot recommend Lappe Bee Supply more.

    I received my 6 new queens in great shape. Installed 3 the next morning and the rest the next day. It has been 2 weeks and all 6 queenless hives are now filling up with brood. You can't beat 100% success and I am anxiously waiting to see the long term result of these queens in my hives.
