What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
Our stock is specifically selected for qualities desirable in a New England beekeeping operation: workability, resistance to mites and disease, early buildup, honey production on the local bloom, and survival under our extreme New England seasons and weather. | |

East Hampton CT | |
