With 20,000 hives vaccinated in North America and growing, hear what customers are saying about the product:
"Of 8 colonies, the one with the vaccinated queen is currently the strongest going into winter. I find this especially impressive as all the other colonies are locally adapted (100% survival last winter) and most were well established before the arrival of the vaccinated queen". - Cecily from BC, Canada
"I'm really excited about the proactive approach to bee health. In our most recent trial, we found that DWV-B viral loads were 90% lower in vaccinated colonies. It looks like this vaccine could be a powerful tool for preventing both AFB and DWV, helping us shift from managing infections to outright prevention." - Trevor Tauzer, Tauzer Apiaries
"In our yard, performance has been great, strong build up, enough to support our aggressive splits throughout the season. Acceptance rate went just as well. Bees look good, hives are strong and brood is beautiful!" - Nadine from ON, Canada
