(PREORDER) 2025 Italian Queens

At Millheim Honey Company, we take pride in providing top-quality Italian queens to help you start or strengthen your hive. Each queen is verified as mated, ensuring the vitality and productivity of your colony. By default, our queens are sold unmarked and unclipped, but we’re happy to offer customization based on your needs.

Why Choose Our Italian Queens? Our queens are known for their gentle temperament and strong work ethic, making them a favorite among beekeepers. Whether you're expanding your apiary or just starting out, you can trust that our queens are ready to thrive in your hive.

Custom Options: If you would like your queen to be marked or clipped for easier tracking and management, simply indicate your request in the notes section of your order. Please allow additional time for these customizations. Pre-ordering is required for all clipped or marked queens, as they cannot be purchased or picked up without prior arrangement.
