Tested F0 Buckfast Breeder Queen (2025)

Price: £550 Deposit: £100 Available: May 2026

This Tested F0 Buckfast Breeder Queen represents the pinnacle of modern Buckfast breeding — pure foundation-generation stock (F0) bred by Dr. Peter Stöfen in Germany and open-mated at the renowned Friedrichskoog Land Mating Station. Each queen has been carefully tested and proven for performance, vitality, and overwintering success within our Dorset apiaries before release.

Origin & Breeding Line (2025)

Created within Dr. Stöfen’s Buckfast-Zucht program, this queen descends directly from the prestigious DB58 (Detlev Biel) line — a benchmark for hygiene, calmness, and productivity.

Breeding Lines 2025:

Mother Drone: Friedrichskoog
B58 (BZF): .22-B13l (DB) ley B601 (TR)
.21: B67 (BKS) hamh B365
.20: B148 (BKS) ins B17 (SG)
.19: B11 (PJ) ins B333 (PJ)

The drone mother for the 2025 breeding season comes for the final time from the valuable work of Detlev Biel. DB 58 (DB) cleared 100% of all cells in repeated hygiene tests, achieving an SMR value of 78% (verified by Dr Christoph Kaden). As with all of Biel’s queens, this line carries all the hallmark Buckfast traits — gentleness, productivity, and robust health.

B19 (BZF) = .23-B356 (DB) frkg B12 (DB)
B41 (BZF) = .23-B356 (DB) frkg B12 (DB) es

As in previous years, the best queens from last season’s B356 (DB) drone colonies have been carefully selected for breeding. This exclusive selection bears Dr Stöfen’s signature and guarantees purity and exceptional performance.

Breeder Queen — FAQ

What is an F0 Buckfast breeder queen?

An F0 (foundation) Buckfast breeder queen is a pure, first-generation queen from a documented Buckfast line selected for breeding, not a routine production queen. She is used as the maternal source for raising daughter queens and splits due to her verified traits and pedigree.

Where was this queen mated?

At the Friedrichskoog Land Mating Station in Germany (open mating in a drone-saturated area). She was not mated in Dorset.

Has she successfully overwintered?

Yes. Each queen offered has been tested and has successfully overwintered in our Dorset apiary prior to release.

Is the queen instrumentally inseminated?

No. This is an open-mated breeder queen from the Friedrichskoog station.

What key traits does this line exhibit?

Gentle temperament, high productivity, low swarming tendency, strong winter hardiness, and excellent hygienic behaviour. The 2025 drone mother DB58 achieved 100% hygienic brood clearance and a 78% SMR value (suppressed mite reproduction).

Will a pedigree be supplied?

Yes. A breeding pedigree will be provided via a separate link, confirming the 2025 line and Friedrichskoog mating origin.

How is the queen supplied and shipped?

Marked and clipped in a secure live-bee cage with attendants. Dispatched in protective packaging by Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed.

How should I introduce a breeder queen?

Prepare a strong, queenless recipient unit. Ensure no queen cells remain. After 24–48 hours queenless, introduce the caged queen with candy, avoid disturbance for several days, and verify acceptance before releasing fully.
