I live about 90 miles north of Mobile, Alabama.  I am seriously considering establishing one or two yards of hives headed by Russian queens.  I have had some Russian queens in the past but did not keep really accurate records on productivity.   My question is:  Has anyone in this type climate (Region 8 in gardening maps) run Russian colonies and how have they been as honey producers?  As compared against hives headed by Italian queens?
