Producers of pure Russian Bees and Queens
Manage your bees, not mites.
Our Office will be CLOSED December 4-12
Happy Holidays
Even though our bees are "tucked away for the winter" we are busy taking customer orders and preparing for next spring. Between all the holiday parties with friends and family and the winter bee meetings, it feels like the busy season is already here.
We are taking a little break from the daily routine and closing the office while we attend the American Honey Producers Association Conference in San Diego, and the Idaho Honey Producers meeting in Bosie, ID.
We hope you find time to slow down and enjoy the holidays.

The only book about Russian Honey Bees.
If you want to know about their development and selection or their mechanisms of resistance and management techniques, its all here.
This book is based on more than 20 years of research and management experience.
Mite resistant bees
Russian bees are mite resistant. More than 25 years of research by the USDA Baton Rouge Bee Lab, as well as others, have proven that Russian bees are resistant to mites. They are not mite proof.
Using Russian bees allows you to manage your bees, not your mites.

What is a Certified Member of the RHBA?
The Russian Honeybee Breeders Association (RHBA) certifies members who have demonstrated they can consistently produce queens that keep mite numbers low and pass a DNA test for purity.
There are a lot of people selling "Russian bees" but many of these queens are hybrids. Only Certified members of the RHBA have access to ALL lines of Russian bees and can breed pure Russian bees.
