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.

Breeding Mothers (2025):

  • 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.

  • Exceptional Productivity: High brood expansion, foraging drive, and honey yield potential.
  • Low Swarming Tendency: Bred to prioritise colony stability and sustained production.
  • Winter Hardiness: Proven overwintering ability in both Northern European and Dorset conditions.
  • Hygienic Behaviour: 100% hygienic brood clearance, 78% SMR (Suppressed Mite Reproduction) — naturally resilient against Varroa and disease.
  • Genetic Purity: Verified F0 foundation queen with documented Buckfast lineage (pedigree supplied via link).

Delivery & Certification

Each queen is marked and supplied in a secure live-bee cage with attendants. Shipped in protective packaging via Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed.

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.

So good I bought two
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
These shelves are GREAT. Why? They arrive in a compact well protected package, they go up in minutes, are super tall, and they look fantastic. The price is perfect. The components are not 'real' iron pipes (I've built my own iron pipes shelves before and it's extremely heavy), but some kind of lighter weight metal. That's fine by me! The shelves appear to be real wood (!!). If you buy cheap furniture you know what fake wood looks like. You can tell. Guests can tell. This is probably a pretty cheap wood but who cares--it's REAL, is stained nicely with a distressed look, and overall looks amazing once books and items go on it. If you are deciding between these and some cheaper similar thing, pay a biiiit more and get something with real wood. I just bought a second for my office and they'll hold my books, art, and speakers.

Perfect. Sturdy. Super easy to assemble.
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
I don’t rate a lot of items but I’m in love with this one. I just received it today. It was packaged incredibly well, took 15 min or less to put together and looks amazing!!! I’m tempted to order another one for another room in the house. It’s sturdy, well-made and I can’t stress how easy it was to assemble. Great product, highly recommend. (The owners even sent a hand-written note thanking me for ordering - what a nice touch!) Edit: ordered a second one after living first one so much

Perfect industrial look bookshelf
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver, Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
Surprised how good the quality was for the price. Metal is real metal and wood seems to be real wood. Pretty much twist on and off each section to put together. No question it is a very sturdy piece of furniture. Bought it over other bookshelves because the reviews said it was solid … and indeed it did turn out to be very solid. I’m very pleased and would recommend. Now I just need some things to fill the shelves.

Looks great & saves space
Color: Rustic Brown and Black, Color: Rustic Brown and Black
I couldn't be happier with the look and the space it's saving me. It came very well packaged, even with corner guards on the wood shelfs. It was very easy to assemble and attach to the end of my pantry in the kitchen. That space was just going to waste. The ladder shelf fit perfect and looks great. I love the color and texture of the wood grain, it really goes well with the black metal rail. It will be a little wobbly until you get it screwed down to the wall but after that, it's good and sturdy. The instructions were easy enough to read but I still found a couple of parts I didn't use and wondered what they were for? The parts do come numbered but only on the packaging? Not on the part itself which would have been more helpful to some extent. So just keep it all together with it's packaging and you'll have no problems. Very happy with purchase.

Nice and sleek
Color: Rustic Brown and Black
I’m really happy with the bookshelves overall, I only wish they had taller ones available. It was very quick and easy to put together and they have held up well so far. They look great for the price and I especially like that they have a small footprint when it comes to how much room they take up.
