Greetings,
 
Has anyone had any experience with the ARS Y-C-1 bees which
have been around for a year or so?  I'm thinking of trying a
few of them -- having read some wonderful things about them --
but was wondering how they have done for average beekeepers.
 
Disposition?  Productivity?  Mite resistance?  Swarming?
 
I'll appreciate any feedback, either on the List or in my
personal e-mail.  Btw, I'm located in the norhtwestern part of
the state of Virginia
 
Thanks,
 
Fred
