Why Choose a Vaccinated Queen?

Healthy hives are built from healthy brood.
Vaccinated queens are a new solution created by Dalan Animal Health, allowing eggs to begin building up immunity before they hatch. Protect your brood from day one to stay ahead of hive health threats. Preorder vaccinated queens today from Dancing Bee Equipment, Canada’s leading supplier of beekeeping products.
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, British Columbia, Canada
"My apiary received 100 vaccinated queens imported from the USA last season. Like many this year, we took a 60% or more loss coming out of winter here in Ontario. While the loss is always devastating, it was notable that the best survival rate that I experienced in my operation was in the yards where I had trialed queens vaccinated with the Dalan Health vaccine. I also sold some nucs to others with vaccinated queens and reports have come back that those hives produced more honey than nucs purchased from other suppliers and survived the winter well. The benefits of the vaccine and preventative health are definitely worth the cost. This technology is definitely worth a try." – Mike Davidson, Ontario, Canada
