Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alastair" data-source="post: 13899" data-attributes="member: 13">A few years ago I got some "varroa resistant" queens from them. They were nice Italian queens, large and fat obviously well raised. However they did get varroa same as all the other bees.However I did not do the necessary testing to see if they got less varroa than the other bees, and there would have been drift from other hives in the same yards so cannot say they did not have some resistance.I was talking to someone from there a few months ago who assured me their bees are treatment free, so I may get a few more just to try them out.</blockquote>
