    Russians

    by Greenhornbeekeeping@youtube on Nov 01, 2024

    Got 2 Russian hybrid packages last spring 1 swarmed a couple weeks later but the other grew fast and gave me almost 200lbs of honey 4×'s more than my other hive with native New Jersey bees and when I did my mite drop I got an average of 5-10 mites while my Jersey bees were 50-100 so I'd say they are the best genetics of seen but I did get stung 22 times this season I usually average less than 10

    Russian hybrid bees

    by Jeremy on May 21, 2024

    We bought 2 swarms of Russian hybrid bees. The bees arrived quickly and were very healthy. After installing them in their new home they went right to work. They drew out 4 new frames in about a week and are working nonstop bringing in nectar and pollen. We will going to Mannlake for any of our bee keeping needs in the future.
