The Bees
Our primary focus is on producing survivor bees for our region.
They are open mated at our Medway and Franklin yards and are a combo of Fergusen Buckfast/ VSH Carniolan, and Minnesota Hygienic overwintered queens .
We work our bees bare-handed for most of the season; therefore, we select our stock for gentle temperament.
