Artificially Inseminated Breeder Queen-Dark Purdue Mite-biter SHIPPING JULY Local Honey They are very hygienic showingWe now use artificial insemination to produce breeder queens! The Apis Engineering Queen Station is the tool we use to perform this delicate task. We allow queen to lay at least one frame of sealed brood to check performance before shipping. These queens are used for producing daughter queens, not as a production colony. Purdue Mite biters are selected primarily for leg chewing and overwintering. They tend to be lighter and produce more honey. Honey
