I've been doing this for 20+ years. The price of their packages and queens is very high. We purchased 30 mite resistant queens from northern California last spring. They have been wonderful gals. I hope we can keep them alive this winter. If we can I will get 30-50 more in April. There are different breeds of bees just like there are different breeds of cows. Each has good and bad points.
