Hi

[log in to unmask] asked about open mated daughters from the MN hygenic stock .

The daughters will likely be less hygenic than the breeder but if you select the best including testing for hygenic behavior they will do fine.  They are resistant to both American Foulbrood and chalkbrood, good honey producers here in the upper midwest, winter well, and are reasonably gentle and easy to work with.  The real secret is to continue to select any future generations of queens for all these charactistics not just hygenic behavior.

FWIW
