| Bee Information | |
| Bees for sale? | |
|
|
| What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
| All Michigan Mutts with the option of having a current year VSH Queen instead of the overwintered queen in the nucs. | |
| Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
| Bees were first purchased as Italian but that was six years ago. Since then, they have open mated and have done amazingly well over the Michigan winters. Bees do not travel. All local stock except if a VSH Queen is purchased in a nuc. | |
| Where do the bees overwinter? | |
| Lenawee and Washtenaw Counties Michigan. | |
| Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
| Bees stay local all year. | |
| Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
| I do brood breaks in May and July and treat in the month of October and once in December (broodless period). No other treatments throughout the year. | |
| Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
| No. | |
| Anything else? (e.g. describe your operation) | |
| All nucs made using OTS system. No grafting queens. | |
