| Bee Information | |
| Bees for sale? | |
|
|
| What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
| I select queens that are: gentle, over winter well, and are honey producers. | |
| Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
| My bees are local stock that are openly mated. Both drones and queens are produced from hives that have the characteristics that I want. | |
| Where do the bees overwinter? | |
| On Long Island, NY - North Shore of Western Suffolk County. | |
| Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
| Yes | |
| Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
| Yes - April to October - test every hive every month. | |
| Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
| All nucs and Queen production hives are examined by a NYS Inspector, prior to sale. | |
| Anything else? (e.g., describe your operation) | |
| I am a small sustainable operation producing quality queens and nucs. I, along with others on Long Island, want to provide locally produced bees from our own overwintered stock. | |
