Healthy, young, mated Italian queen bees, ready from October 2026. Each queen arrives in a transport cage with escort bees and is guaranteed to be mated and laying. Pick up in Nunawading, or we can send them by Express Post to states that allow it. We’ve sold more than 6,000 queens to beekeepers across Australia.
Full-depth Langstroth frames that arrive ready for the bees: timber assembled, wires fitted and tensioned, and a sheet of pure Australian beeswax foundation already embedded. No nailing, no wiring, no wax to fiddle with. Take them home, slide them into the box and you’re done. Sold per frame. Pick up only from Nunawading.
One sheet of pure beeswax, approximately 420mm x 205mm, pressed with a hexagonal cell pattern. Nothing bleached, nothing added. Sized to drop straight into a full-depth Langstroth frame, and perfect for rolling into candles – just add the wick! Sold per sheet, so buy exactly as many as you need.
