I am defining resistance as the ability to defend themselves against these diseases and mite better than unselected colonies. Naturally mated daughters of the breeder queens will still require treatments for Varroa, however at less frequent intervals. In these times, it is important to propagate lines of bees that can defend themselves against diseases and mites. I'm glad to be involved in this endeavor. These queens are instrumentally inseminated, and are suitable for queen rearing, research and production hives.
Every queen is marked with a numbered disk and has one wing clipped.
All of our queens are guaranteed to be fertile and to arrive alive and healthy.
