Harvest Lane Carniolan Queen Bee

Description

Pure Russian Bees are excellent at wintering (small cluster needs less food), has resistance to varroa mites and tracheal parasitic mites, and produce high honey yield (same or better than Italian bees). Russian queen bees can rear massive amounts of brood in short times to closely follow times of nectar and pollen flow. They maintain several supersedure queen cells for immediate queen replacement if the hive loses its current queen.
