The Saskatraz Breeding Process

Recurrent natural selection is at the heart of the Saskatraz breeding process. This approach ensures that each bee in your package has superior varroa tolerance.

These bees come from lines that maintain prosperity even under pressure, augmenting your hive’s economic viability. You’re not only welcoming bees into your hive but becoming a part of an evolutionary journey towards healthier bee populations.

    package bees may 2024

    by Geoff on May 03, 2024

    Very pleased with shipment and condition. Observed after leaving the packages at the mouth of the hive overnight. One package had no dead bees at all, the second package had two or three dozen dead. Temperatures at my hive were cold, in the thirties overnight and around fifty degrees on overcast days without precipitation. The bees are clustered in the hives, taking sugar water from top box feeders, queens are released. Sunny today, looking forward to orientation flights.

    Bees arrived in great shape with very little loss of bees. Installed in the hive and they took off working right away. Very well pleased with the quality of the bees and the customer service from Mann Lake, great people to do business with!
