Where in Kent are your queen bees sent from?

Our queens are despatched from our base between Canterbury and Herne Bay in Kent, so Kent beekeepers get them quickly by Royal Mail Special Delivery.

How quickly can I get a queen bee in Kent?

Order Monday to Friday before the cut-off shown on the product page and choose 'Immediate Despatch'. We send it the same day by Royal Mail Special Delivery for next-day arrival before 1pm, where available.

Which queen bees can I buy in Kent?

When are queen bees available in Kent?

Queens are despatched between April and September, the main UK beekeeping season. You can pick a future despatch date on the product page to reserve one ahead of time.

Is a queen bee a good way to requeen a Kent colony that's gone queenless?

Yes. A mated queen is the fastest way to get a queenless or failing colony laying again, rather than waiting weeks for the bees to raise and mate their own queen.

What does delivery cost for queens in Kent?

Delivery is £9.50 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, however many queens you order.
