After several years of professional queen bees production, our unit created a new product to fill the gap that existed in the need of fellow beekeepers for queen bees earlyin the spring.

So we created the QUEEN cell, which we first gave to the producerat the national level, giving him the possibility to initially raise his flocks when they need it and to be sure he has queen bees in his hands that are new and adapted to the peculiarities of his region.

Over the years, we have acquired the expertise we needed to produce top-quality queen cells in significant quantities capable of meeting the demands of even our most demanding partner.

After many experiments, we ended up with those methods that provide us with queen cells of high quality for queens of equivalent value adapted to the circumstances of our country.

Being aware of the responsibility we have towards the producer, since we are able to distribute genetic material from one edge of the island to the other, we select bee colonies based on their yields to honey and a number of other criteria and selection tests we apply.

Using the international bee picking protocol and following a rigorous selection process,we locate and distinguish those flocks that collect the best rating and form the basis on which the product is named a selected quality queen cell.

In this way we ensure the quality of bees with which we ourselves and other beekeepers will work to get the best returns.

Each areaconfigures its plants and animals based on its geographical location and its climatic specifics. Adjusted plants and livestock can only be one with their environment, withstand the difficulties of the system they are part of also making the best possible best product yieldsat the lowest possible cost.

So we produce qualitative queen cells that are packed and sent,with our own responsibility, to ourfellow beekeepers throughout Crete.
