The Honeybee Research Project
Our Purpose
Join us on our journey as we work towards 'uncapping' the promising potential of selective breeding and instrumental insemination to combat diseases and ongoing real-world challenges the honeybee faces. Besides contributing to honeybee mite & disease resistance research, we offer bees for sale in nucs, packages, and live queen bees.
We are a small business composed of honeybee-loving researchers who are devoted to the cause of improving the genetic lineage and diversity of the European Honeybee. We have been researching Honeybee genetics since 2011, and have been self-funded ever since. Your purchase makes an impact!
Our breeding program participates in Harbo's VSH program and works in conjunction with other queen breeders involved with VSH and SMR. Most of our queens, unless otherwise specified, originate from Northern stock. Our queens are inspected yearly & certified by the state of Florida to be free of Diseases & Africanization.
Our Goal is to enhance the production aspect of VSH and varroa & disease-resistant lines of honeybees through our breeding methods, and enhance the reliability of VSH and SMR and related genetic traits and rates.
