Hi All,
I have a couple of quick questions:
-After a 1300 mile round trip to pick up package bees(Carniolans)-If these
bees are supposed to be the best at weathering the harsh winter of the
north, why are all of the package producers in California?  I was procure
packages from a beekeeper bringing packages into Minnesota.
-I have been considering pollen collection for a couple of reasons-feeding
AND Varroa removal.  It has been shown that some mites are removed when the
bees go through the Pollen strippers.  Are there any statistics as to how
many bees are injured going in and out through the pollen traps?

Thanks much,
Coleene Davidson
