Im not aware of one, We have one here where I live in california who breeds much more resistant to mite than average bees and also they tend to be much more gentle
@@pilsplease7561 i searched and emailed a few beekeepers last year but unfortunately, no one replied. Can bees be shipped from California across the border by any chance?
Hey bee friends...our local bee club shut down due to Covid. I got a couple Russian hives from a guy here in Georgia...he said they were super stars when it comes to keeping out mites and hive beetles. One hive I have that I caught in swarm trap on my property....im sure they were part of the Russians that swarmed (because I suck sometimes) but this hive just starting poping out solid black bees. What the heck is this? Any ideas?
Nice meeting Steve I am from Nebraska we have some nasty winters we were down to -30 degrees in feb. being Russian do they winter well??? I helped comm. bee keepers with a 1000 hives years ago. I am starting with bees this spring and would like to try some russian bees can I order queens from you??? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME FRANK
Excellent stuff!
Any official Russian bee breeder in Canada? I am in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and looking to start beekeeping with the best Russian bees I can find.
