Finski, why did the U.S. bring bees over from Russia to Baton Rouge Lousiana to the island and isolate the bees and propagate the genetics of the russian be known as the Russian Queen Breading Association run by the U.S. food and drug administration and they have scientific proof that the russian bee is very hygenic and is the most resistant to varroa mites. I dont say things on here that i havent learned from an educated individual or scientific proof i am by no means a know it all at this far into beekeeping but i do read alot and listen to people such as yourself that have years of experience thats how you better yourself in life no matter what you do you always listen more than you talk thats what i was taught by my parents.  How do I know? Why they went to Siberia because in Nebraska desert you had better resistant bees. - I have learned... Germany has as resistant Carniolan bees as Russian bees. They make more honey too. Those bees were taken to New Zealand breeding project. . http://www.wncbees.org/docs/Reference/A%20Comparison%20of%20Russian%20and%20Italian%20Honey%20Bees.pdf

Thats what i was talking about i thought u said that the russian bees where no better than italians. So from what you have included in your post it would make sense to introduce Russian bees into your apairy

i know local mutts are good but what is best is a non breed or breed of bee that is hygenic but even so if you are going to buy bees it would be best to try to get the breed of bee that is the most hygenic im not much for treatments i want bees that can be chemical free and productive like the rest of us.

@BY_warrior and Finski
How about you guys invent a robo bee that simply roams the combs, scans capped cells as it roams, and pokes (kills) any that are infested with mites. I’m talking about an ELECTRONIC robo bee here. If you stick this robo bee in there early in the season, the mite population never gets a chance to explode exponentially and the problem is solved. Onto Cold Fusion.
I recall in another post that Finski said he recently retired. This would be a PERFECT project to keep him busy in retirement.

Having "nothing" to do is a luxury best left to the wealthy (for now anyway). I'd rather be poor with lots to do, guess that's why I am And to be honest, I'm more buzy since I retired not less. Oh yeah, almost forgot; GO PACKERS, GO PACKERS, GO PACKERS, GO PACKERS!  thomas

Please excuse that non-sense about a robo bee I posted last night, I had a brain fart! It happens!
@T Beek,
Is today finally going to be feeding day for your super girls? I can’t wait for a report. Watch out, they might be all excited about the Pack too? Did anybody seriously think that Chicago, a team with half the Detroit Lions old coaching staff, would win? Go Pack!

Only a high of 10F today, looks good toward the end of the week though. They're all still humming as of 8:30am. One of my Langs "sounds" weak is all. I've had weak colonies survive and thrive before (and the oposite too unfortunatly) once Spring came along. BluBee; No need to apologise man, "its winter!!" Why do you think I even come around here? Besides I talk like that every time I have a couple Ale's, makes me creative  , but don't ask my wife. thomas
