I'm with Pete on this one!  One can't always eat filet mignon, but
settle for the next best.  Any line of bees that cuts my mite
treatments in half is better than one that doesn't.

And thanks to Charlie for setting the record straight about the
Russians.  I've heard similar reports from other keepers of purebred
Russian bees.
