Does anyone have experience with the Italian survivor stock from Arnold Honey's in Tennessee (www.arnoldhoneybeeservices.com/html/bees_for_sale.html)?  They claim to breed from survivors and not have treated for the last 10 years?

Also, has anyone tried Minesota Hygienic queens inseminated with VSH/SMR semen?  Can these crosses be kept treatment-free?  Sounds like a good combo for mite and AFB control.

Thanks,

Waldemar
