Our queens are bred from artificially inseminated (AI) breeder queens.
Our queens are Italian honeybees that exhibit the desirable traits of Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) -- resistance to varroa, honey production, and brood buildup.
We use the Pol-line 2.2 and breeder queens from
Joe Latshaw's Ohio breeding program.
This strain of bees has been developed over the past 23 years
