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.
