We only use pure Russian certified bees. One of the biggest threats to the modern beehive and (beekeeper) is the varroa mite and the viruses they carry. Russian bees are proven to have increased resistance to varroa and tracheal mites. They are a hardy race that overwinters well. In our opinion, they are the best suited bee race for our climate. In every study comparing Russian and Italian bees, Russian bees produced as much or more honey that Italians.
