Main Features:

• Buckfast Breed: This package includes a Buckfast queen, ideal for experienced beekeepers due to its unique characteristics.
• Quick Development: The package format allows the bees to be ready to adapt and thrive in any type of hive.
• Advantages and Disadvantages: Although the Buckfast breed has multiple advantages such as its docility and winter resistance, it also requires specialized handling.
• Guaranteed Health: Our rigorous selection process eliminates all diseases associated with brood, wax, and wood.
