I just started with SMR/SMR crosses. I have approx. 250 4 frame nucs going
into winter, most of which have SMR daughters, crossed with my best honey
producers/good winterers. They built up well, and are more populous than I
usually see at this time of year. I can't really judge their performance
until next year, though.
I was wondering, Bob...what was it you didn't like about these bees?
