Minnesota Hygienic Italian Queens are a breed of Italian Honey Bees developed by D. Marla Spivak at the University of Minnesota Bee Lab.  These Italian bees have been specifically bred with the goal of continued selection of VSH traits (Varroa sensitive hygiene) to help reduce the impact of Varroa Destructor in the hive.  We prefer Italian Queens for the Texas climate due to the increased brood rearing that helps us take advantage of nectar flows for honey production.

    Excellent Queen Availability

    Posted by Jeremy on 24th Apr 2024

    I was able to purchase a queen and pick it up the next day. I installed her on a Thursday and checked on her cage 4 days later and she was able to make it out. The bees were very happy and calm, no smoke needed. Great DNA of Bees over at Honey Walker Farm!! I can recommend buying NUC's and Queens from this Company and I have done exactly that to get little Bee Farm up and running.
