|
| What characteristics do you use to select your breeding stock? | |
| Our strongest colonies are used to make nucs. These colonies have successfully overwintered in Michigan, have had strong laying patterns, and are excellent at drawing wax and gathering resources. Mite levels have been easily controlled in the colony, and the bees have a gentle disposition for easy handling. | |
| Where is the source of your bees and what strain(s) are they? | |
| Our bees are Michigan Mutts. | |
| Where do the bees overwinter? | |
| Our bees remain at our Midland, Michigan homestead year-round. We do not wrap our hives, and they overwinter well. | |
| Do the bees spend the whole season in your home location? If not, where do they go and when, and for how long? | |
| Our bees remain at our homestead year-round. | |
| Do you monitor for varroa mites? How and how often? | |
| Yes, and we utilize brood breaks and treat with oxalic acid. | |
| Have your hives been inspected by an inspector? | |
| No. | |
