Tested F0 Buckfast Breeder Queen (2025)

Price: £550      Deposit: £100     Available: May 2026

This Tested F0 Buckfast Breeder Queen represents the pinnacle of modern Buckfast breeding — pure foundation-generation stock (F0) bred by Dr. Peter Stöfen in Germany and open-mated at the renowned Friedrichskoog Land Mating Station. Each queen has been carefully tested and proven for performance, vitality, and overwintering success within our Dorset apiaries before release.

Origin & Breeding Line (2025)

Created within Dr. Stöfen’s Buckfast-Zucht program, this queen descends directly from the prestigious DB58 (Detlev Biel) line — a benchmark for hygiene, calmness, and productivity.

Breeding Lines 2025:

  • Mother Drone: Friedrichskoog
  • B58 (BZF): .22-B13l (DB) ley B601 (TR)
  • .21: B67 (BKS) hamh B365
  • .20: B148 (BKS) ins B17 (SG)
  • .19: B11 (PJ) ins B333 (PJ)

The drone mother for the 2025 breeding season comes for the final time from the valuable work of Detlev Biel. DB 58 (DB) cleared 100% of all cells in repeated hygiene tests, achieving an SMR value of 78% (verified by Dr Christoph Kaden). As with all of Biel’s queens, this line carries all the hallmark Buckfast traits — gentleness, productivity, and robust health.

Breeding Mothers (2025):

  • B19 (BZF) = .23-B356 (DB) frkg B12 (DB)
  • B41 (BZF) = .23-B356 (DB) frkg B12 (DB) es

As in previous years, the best queens from last season’s B356 (DB) drone colonies have been carefully selected for breeding. This exclusive selection bears Dr Stöfen’s signature and guarantees purity and exceptional performance.

Breeder Queen — FAQ

What is an F0 Buckfast breeder queen?
An F0 (foundation) Buckfast breeder queen is a pure, first-generation queen from a documented Buckfast line selected for breeding, not a routine production queen. She is used as the maternal source for raising daughter queens and splits due to her verified traits and pedigree.
Where was this queen mated?
At the Friedrichskoog Land Mating Station in Germany (open mating in a drone-saturated area). She was not mated in Dorset.
Has she successfully overwintered?
Yes. Each queen offered has been tested and has successfully overwintered in our Dorset apiary prior to release.
Is the queen instrumentally inseminated?
No. This is an open-mated breeder queen from the Friedrichskoog station.
What key traits does this line exhibit?
Gentle temperament, high productivity, low swarming tendency, strong winter hardiness, and excellent hygienic behaviour. The 2025 drone mother DB58 achieved 100% hygienic brood clearance and a 78% SMR value (suppressed mite reproduction).
Will a pedigree be supplied?
Yes. A breeding pedigree will be provided via a separate link, confirming the 2025 line and Friedrichskoog mating origin.
How is the queen supplied and shipped?
Marked and clipped in a secure live-bee cage with attendants. Dispatched in protective packaging by Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed.
How should I introduce a breeder queen?
Prepare a strong, queenless recipient unit. Ensure no queen cells remain. After 24–48 hours queenless, introduce the caged queen with candy, avoid disturbance for several days, and verify acceptance before releasing fully.

It’s great quality in terms of the fur, but the non-slip aspect lacks.
Color: Pearl, Size: Front Seat Cushions-2 Pcs
I wanted this not to provide extra cushion - although it does. I got this more to protect my seats in my sedan because they are tan in color and a suede-type material. So my jeans would bleed blue or black pants ect… would cause problems. It works perfectly for the purpose I wanted it for. I no longer damage my seats, and it does not appear that my pants colors bleed into the sheepskin either. Or at least it’s so minimal I have not noticed. I even spilled a bit of water by accident, and it came off very easily too so that’s a bonus. It’s lacking in the non-slip department. I understand the bottom is designed to be non-slip, and I do utilize the clips that attatched into the seat (the clips just slide out). Despite this is slips often. It’s not a deal breaker, but it was very disappointing. It’s frustrating to re-adjust. The gripping material underneath is not super textured like I thought. The clips not working as indented is also annoying. They don’t provide any gripping it just comes out no matter how hard I push inward. Also, the color I bought is slightly different from what I received. I know colors vary from photo to life, but it seemed like the color was just off a tad. It was supposed to be a lighter beige according to the photo, but it’s darker. Not a deal-breaker again, but something to consider. It was close enough for me. Overall still a good purchase, but depending on why you are buying these things may stand out to you.

Great product: thick and cozy
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Natural (Ivory Whiite)
This is a lovely, thick sheepskin. I’m using it to drape over a chair. It’s very soft. The color is a natural white. Arrived quickly. The price was great for such a wonderful sheepskin.
