Indiana Queen Breeders Association

IQBA hosted its annual Insemination and Grafting Event this year (2026) at the Purdue Bee Lab on June 5th and 6th. We had a great turnout of breeders from all across the state along with a couple of out of state attendees. We inseminated 37 queens, grafted a couple hundred cells, as well as passed around cells and virgin queens. Our breeders will utilize these new genetics to further improve their apiary genetics along with those of neighboring beekeepers throughout the state.
