I have a question for anyone who can answer.My 6 hives all died again
this winter even though they had ample supplies. I'm assuming mites were
responsible although I have'nt tested for them. Last spring, I ordered 4
swarms from York apaiaries in Ga. which were certified mite free. Now
this year as I read York's brochure, I noticed they offer several strains
of hybrids which were from survivor colonies (several generations back).
My question is if anyone has had success w/ these survivor hybrids from
ANY source, not just York. Since I need to re-order swarms, I'll probably
go with these but any input will be appreciated.
