>Steve, you may want to try queens from a different NWC breeder and see if
you notice a difference. I get mine from Heitkam and Kona, and I have also
heard good things about Shubert's program. I understand Kona is sold out
for 2004 (!), and probably everyone else is for April. Heitkam is
530-865-9562. Schubert is 530-795-2124.


Ohio Queen Breeders has a Carnie line that they have been crossing in the SMR traits out of the Harbo line.  While they don't sell production queens they might be able to point you to a breeder that is selling offspring from their line. Their line breeding colonies are all in central Ohio so they know what a real winter is like.
