California ImportedCarniolan Queen | Olivarez

Olivarez has been raising queens for more than 50 years in Northern California, where the low humidity; warm, gravelly soil; and rich, natural food supply create optimal conditions. Shielded from the wind by trees and surrounded by thousands of acres of blooming clover, mustard, and other nectar-producing plants, their mating yards give their queens a strong start in life. Carniolan queens from California are top-notch honey producers and slow down brood production so they are conservative with feed in the winter.

Pick up:
You can meet us in Winnipeg when they arrive or pick them up shortly after we return to Dufresne. We will notify you in advance via email.
Queens need to be picked up 1-2 days after arrival to optimize survival and to avoid forfeiture of the non-refundable livestock purchase.
