Frequently Asked Questions
Semi-isolated or isolated mating: what's the difference?
Reproductive semi-isolation (~800–900 m altitude) uses a mountain station where most drones come from selected Carnica and Buckfast lines — strong genetic control at an accessible price. Reproductive isolation >90% (~1400 m altitude, selected Buckfast) uses an isolated mountain station offering superior genetic uniformity and exceptional gentleness, in limited quantity.
When will my queens arrive for the 2027 season?
Semi-isolation queens ship from 15–30 May, and Premium isolated queens between 5–20 June. We fulfil orders in reservation order. To secure availability for your preferred date, we recommend pre-ordering via WhatsApp.
How are queen bees shipped, and how long does delivery take?
We use specialised transport boxes with proper ventilation and ship via express courier. Romania delivery takes 1–3 business days, and EU delivery 2–5 business days. Shipping cost is confirmed at order based on destination and quantity.
How much does a queen bee cost, and how do I pay?
A semi-isolation queen costs €22 to €18 depending on quantity; prices for both variants are in the price table on this page. We accept cash on delivery (within Romania) or bank transfer before shipment. Bank account details and full instructions are sent via WhatsApp once you confirm the order.
