Pre-orders are open. Virgins will begin shipping April 13th. If you have a delivery date preference, please enter that in order notes. We typically ship Monday through Wednesday, with the majority on Monday. These virgin queens are daughters from our Missouri Mite Hunter top instrumentally inseminated breeder queens. The breeders have proven themselves to be productive, thrive in an untreated apiary, and have top scores on Harbo's VSH assay (zero % mite reproduction). Please read my blog post on introducing virgin queens so you are familiar before ordering. Contact us with any introduction questions. Thanks!
