QQI Queen Cells - New Batch Delivers June 18th

Purchase a Quality Queen Initiative (QQI) Queen Cell

$5/cell

Omaha Bee Club runs a Quality Queen Initiative to allow members to inexpensively purchase quality queen cells from stock that survived a Nebraska winter, not defensive, and produce honey.  These cells will emerge in your hives, mature, mate, and hopefully become a quality laying queen in your hive. 

Introducing a queen cell or queen comes at a small risk (reportedly 80% success rate).

Do you need a queen to replace a queen of unknown origin that might not survive winter?

Do you need to requeen a hive that might be a little too defensive?

Do you just need a queen?

You will be contacted to arrange delivery on Wednesday, June 10th.

Members must prepare a hive to be queenless at least 4 hours prior (the day before is better) to installing the queen cell.  The queens will be emerging and we recommend installing the day you pick them up.
