What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
I maintain a diverse apiary with a few queen lines that have been overwintering well in the Pocono Mountains for over a decade. I also look for new genetics from other northern beekeepers to try and diversify the genetics in my operation. | |
Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
Some lines have been in my operation for years, I swap genetics with other Pocono beekeepers as well. | |
Where do the bees overwinter? | |
Stroudsburg PA | |
Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
All colonies stay within my operation based in the Pocono Mountains of PA. I do move colonies from apiary to apiary throughout the season, but all colonies stay within 20 minutes of my home base location. | |
Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
Yes, using mite washes and regular OAV, and seasonal Apivar. | |
Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
Yes I am a licensed and inspected honeybee producer in PA. |
