| Bee Information | |
| Bees for sale? | |
|
|
| If "Other" please explain | |
| I also sell and trade full 10-frame hives with or without bees.
My goal is VSH bees. I also sell honey in 2lb plastic bottles |
|
| What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
| VSH is primary. Attitude and honey production next. |
|
| Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
| I have many feral bees as I do cutouts. These bees have been very good as to varroa resistant.
I have also bought queens (VSH) from Corey Stevens, Missouri. These are mostly Italian. |
|
| Where do the bees overwinter? | |
| Northeast Ohio.
Wooster, Ohio |
|
| Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
| My bees stay in Ohio all year long. | |
| Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
| Yes. I do selective breeding and try to find the colonies that do the best at varroa resistance by uncapping and recapping the brood cells Treatments are few to none. Live and let die. |
|
| Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
| No | |
| Anything else? (e.g. describe your operation) | |
| I have 21 hives, so not a big-time, commercial beekeeper but not the smallest either. I am interested in saving the honeybee through education and practice of sustainable beekeeping. I am as free from treatments as I can possibly be. |
|
| Number of queens interested in exchanging at any one time (are you looking for 40, or just a couple)? | |
| 2-10 | |
| What type of queens do you have available to trade? | |
| VSH Italian Hybrid |
