    Russian Hybrid Package Bees

    by Rebecca Houser on Apr 27, 2024

    This single package arrived very healthy and happy, less than 20 expired bees in the bottom. The Queen was packaged nicely. They went into the hive without a hitch and have now been seen doing orientation flights in front of the hive. This is our third time buying Russian Hybrids from Mann Lake and we would definitely recommend them.

    Holy s**t

    by Kadie Kohls on Apr 24, 2024

    First off, my bee package came and there must've only been 100 dead bees on the bottom, if that. I'm not sure when they were packaged, but the label was created on the 19th, and then it was delivered on the 23rd. Second, holy s**t, these ladies already made a hand-sized amount of comb in their package, in just a few days! Super excited to work with ze Russians this year! Looks promising!

    1/2 good, 1/2 OK

    by EDWARD V BRUSH on Apr 19, 2024

    One package arrived in 2 days in great shape. The other was dead , having drowned in a whole can of heavy syrup. Mann Lake has offered a replacement, so I'm happy for that

    Honey vs brood production

    by DEVON MCCARTNEY on Mar 03, 2024

    I bought a 3lb package last Spring that I fed syrup and established very well. Throughout late Spring- Fall they stored no honey but focused solely on brood. They did not make it through the winter even with fall honey emergency feeding
