| What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
| 1) Gentleness 2) Overwintering 3) Colony buildup 4) Honey production |
|
| Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
| I bought packages from Terry Klein in 2020. These bees are hives that are still alive, or splits I have made from the original packages. They are a mixture of Italian and Carniolan strains. | |
| Where do the bees overwinter? | |
| They overwinter here in Saginaw County (and I have a couple of hives in Midland County). | |
| Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
| They go nowhere: I am a homebody, and so are they. | |
| Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
| I monitor for varroa, but not in the traditional manner. | |
| Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
| No | |
| Anything else? (e.g. describe your operation) | |
| I am a small (10 hives or so) operation, raising my own queens and making my own nucs. | |
