       We’ve determined that in order for an operation to produce Russian stock both with genetic integrity and in sufficient numbers it’s necessary that each member must operate a minimum of two hundred colonies.  Additionally, the entire outfit must be made up of Russian stock or be moving rapidly toward that goal.

       It is required that mating yards, especially those that produce ‘selection’ queens, are isolated, and that they have well stocked drone source colonies of the appropriate lineage and in sufficient numbers.  (We’ve set a ratio of one good drone source colony for twenty mating nucs.  So, for example, with 24 well stocked drone source colonies representing two colonies from each of the twelve appropriate lines one could set out 480 mating nucs.)


Like many beekeepers, our members innovate to accomplish the task at hand.
