 I think I might try a couple of Caucasian queens next spring in my top bar
 hives.  I would enjoy email conversations with any of you who keep/kept
 Caucasians.  Do you think they'd do better in tbh's than Italians?  Seems
 that I read somewhere that Caucasians are reluctant to spread brood
 upward.  Any information that you can supply would be appreciated.
 
 Cordially yours,

Jim ,
 
I just got to know, how did the bees we sent you perform in the top bar
hives.
