Losing colonies is expensive. A healthier hive means better honey production, more successful splits, and long-term savings.

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 from BC, Canada

"In our yard, performance has been great, strong build up, enough to support our aggressive splits throughout the season. Acceptance rate went just as well. Bees look good, hives are strong and brood is beautiful!" - Nadine from ON, Canada

Testimonials

"Nobody wants more chemicals out there in agricultural science. We’re all trying to reduce that. And I think earnestly, this fits into that perfectly."

- Keith Delaplane, PhD, Professor of Entomology, University of Georgia

"Having worked with many Canadian beekeepers, I can attest that disease management is a substantial concern for them. While this vaccine won't solve all problems faced by our industry today, it represents a significant step in the right direction, encouraging a shift in how we prevent and tackle diseases."

– Carol Yelle, owner of Pope Canyon Queens, Vacaville, CA

"I'm really excited about the proactive approach to bee health. In our most recent trial, we found that DWV-B viral loads were 90% lower in vaccinated colonies. It looks like this vaccine could be a powerful tool for preventing both AFB and DWV, helping us shift from managing infections to outright prevention."

– Trevor Tauzer, Tauzer Apiaries
