The Wildflower Meadows’ breeding program is managed by a UCSD trained biologist, as well as our own beekeepers, with decades of commercial beekeeping experience.

The breeding program also has the enhanced benefit of advisory collaboration with Tom Glenn, one of the renowned leaders in the field of bee genetics and instrumental insemination.

Instrumental insemination allows our queen breeders to precisely select and promote highly desirable genetic traits.  Both the queen and drone lines have not only been selected and tested for VSH behavior, but also to carry the optimal genetic traits of gentleness, rapid buildup and overall hardiness.  Count on our breeder queens to deliver the high standards of queen performance that Wildflower Meadows is known for.

Our bee breeding program runs in concert with our queen production season, which spans from April through August. As breeder queens become available, we will list dates, availability and pricing on this page.
