Product Overview
Purebred Russian Package Bees with Unmarked Mated Queen
Immerse yourself in beekeeping with our RHBA-certified purebred Russian bees. Each package comes with 3 lbs of honey bees and a laying purebred Russian queen that has been open-air mated.
These bees do not build their colony populations until pollen is available and shut down brood rearing when pollen is scarce. This trait is advantageous in areas where the primary honey and pollen flows emerge later in the year.
Purebred Russian Bees Key Features
Here are the key characteristics that make these Russian honey bees stand out:
- Increased resistance to varroa
- High resilience against tracheal mites
- Brood rearing synced with periods of pollen availability
- Low likelihood of robbing
