{"product_id":"virgin-local-queen","title":"Virgin Local Queen (bulk 10 queens)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBritish Queens, bred by us on the Sussex South Downs. Bred to be calm and placid, both on the comb and in handling.  Overwinters nicely on a single brood box. Ready to introduce into a queenless colony or to replace an ageing or failing queen.  This is a Virgin queen so will need to go on her mating flight after she has been introduced into your colony. This will mean it will take longer before you start to see eggs, compared to a mated queen, and has more risks involved.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Virgin queens are sold in batches of 10 queens, not singular.   For single queens, please order our mated queens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease select your dispatch day when you order. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease also note:  you cannot start a colony with a Queen only, you need a nucleus or full colony of Bees.    Introducing a Queen into a colony is never 100% successful, we are not responsible if your Queen is not accepted and is killed or goes 'Missing' during the introduction stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"R \u0026 R Bee Company","offers":[{"title":"15th July for delivery 16th July","offer_id":52471497261388,"sku":"vlqueen","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"22nd July for delivery 23rd July","offer_id":52359075496268,"sku":"vlqueen","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"29th July for delivery 30th July","offer_id":52359075070284,"sku":"vlqueen","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5th Aug for delivery 6th Aug - FINAL BATCH","offer_id":49129053749580,"sku":"vlqueen","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/2674\/6444\/files\/IMG-5944.jpg?v=1778181186","url":"https:\/\/www.rrbeecompany.co.uk\/products\/virgin-local-queen","provider":"R \u0026 R Bee Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
