Title: Very disappointed with queen quality and customer service

I purchased two queen bees from this seller and unfortunately had a very poor experience.

One queen failed to build properly and did not survive the winter despite having sufficient stores. The second queen also showed very poor performance and, by the end of spring, was laying very weakly and did not develop as expected.

I contacted the seller several times regarding the issue. They requested photos, which I provided, but after sending the requested evidence I did not receive further replies despite multiple follow-up emails.

As a beekeeper with many years of experience, I waited before leaving a review because I wanted to give the queens enough time and confirm their performance before making conclusions.

Based on my experience, I am disappointed with both the queen quality and the after-sales communication and support.

I cannot recommend buying from this seller based on my experience and would advise buyers to consider carefully before ordering.

Not a great experience.
1. You wont ever be able to contact them or get any reply.
2. Island mated queen came so late in season I had no chance to check her pattern or if she was even laying. Come spring as suspected she is rubbish and complete waste of money.
3. Reviews on their site are fake? I cant contact them or write a review so how did anyone else?

Im sure they produce great queens, the issue being: when it goes wrong you have no hope of any help and I 100% expect a queen to be very well mated at the cost these are sold for. 100% not worth using, the risk is high and so are the costs when it goes wrong. Im left with a very expensive queen that is useless.
