|
What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
I've been selecting for mite resistance and northern hardiness. | |
Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
My strains of bees are hybrids. I've sourced queens from many treatment free beekeepers and also swarms and cutouts. |
|
Where do the bees overwinter? | |
My bees stay in Michigan year round. | |
Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
They stay in Michigan year round, outdoors. | |
Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
I do select my breeding stock for the most mite resistance. | |
Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
No. | |
Anything else? | |
My bees are 90% treatment free. They will only get mite treatments if they are overrun and that queen will get replaced. |
