We thank all our friendly and loyal customers the past two years for your business, feedback and patience. Working with you has been an extremely satisfying experience. Thank you all!

This 2010 season, we're going to have to limit the number of mated queens we produce and we will deliver them as season-run. We will be taking orders on a first come-first serve basis and when we reach our capacity, we'll have to refer folks to other breeders or put them on a waiting list for 2011. We'll update this site on our orders, with a warning when we're getting closer to sold-out.

SOLD OUT of mated/virgin queens and cells. Thank you for your support!

Mated VP Queens in 2010 will be produced as the weather permits, and will be ready when optimum. You may certainly request queens for a specific month, but we're not going to "push the season" to ensure shipping dates: Our goal is to produce the best quality queens-- with our small operation and limited labour, we'd rather produce fewer high quality queens, shipped at their peak then ship during or after poor weather. We do not bank any of our queens.

Understandably, if you need to plan your season with exact dates for queen delivery, our service this year won't be for you. Please keep in touch! Hopefully we'll be able to offer mated queens more regularly in future seasons.

To order, email us with what you want, and preferred shipping date. We need your full address with the zip code, and a phone number. (We cannot calculate shipping without your zip, and shipping requires a phone number). Call 301-662-4844 (please leave a message) if you have questions.

Upon receipt of your email, we'll check availability, and then either contact you back with order information or email you an invoice representing your order with shipping calculated. On receipt of your invoice we ask for payment in full to lock your order in.

We're always available to answer questions you might have about our queens. Your questions are important to us! Please leave a message if we're not in and we'll call you back as soon as we get in.

All orders must be paid-in-full to be reserved.
