The following is a list of participants that maintain Instrumentally Inseminate Breeder Queens from reputable queen breeders or genetically superior open-mated queens that are kept for the express purpose of generating new queen bees for distribution within the Commonwealth of Virginia to enhance the gene pool of our local stock. An F1 queen is the direct daughter of an inseminated queen bee or a naturally mated queen bee that is expressing certain traits. The open mated F1 daughter queen's worker bees carry 50% of that specialty queen's genetics. The F1 queen's drones carry 100% of the select queen's genetics.
Network Membership for the 2026 year is currently OPEN. Please send an email if you would like more information on the cost and program description to VaQBBN@gmail.com
