3-lb Package of Italian Honey Bees with Vaccinated Queen Shipped

Start your hive right with vaccinated packages. 

Protect your hives with a vaccinated queen that protects against American Foulbrood.  Packages with vaccinated queens are a new solution created by Dalan Animal Health, allowing eggs to begin building up immunity before they hatch. Invest in your apiary by staying ahead of hive health threats, and preorder vaccinated packages today from Dadant, the oldest beekeeping store in the US supplying beekeepers since 1863.

With 20,000 hives vaccinated in North America and growing, hear what customers are saying about the product: 

"Of 8 colonies, the one with the vaccinated queen is currently the strongest going into winter. I find this especially impressive as all the other colonies are locally adapted (100% survival last winter) and most were well established before the arrival of the vaccinated queen". - Cecily from BC, Canada

"Vaccinated hives were better balanced and had noticeably more honey (even in a challenging honey yield year). They had a better brood pattern, and the queens were generally more vibrant compared to our unvaccinated hives.  We're very encouraged with how vaccinated queens have performed" - Nadine from ON, Canada
