Productive colonies require strong, healthy queens. Our breeding program focuses on traits that help to safeguard colonies against disease and our harsh winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are enrolled in the Ontario Resistant Honey Bee Selection (ORHBS) program, meaning our breeder queens are carefully selected for hygienic behaviour and low-varroa growth, utilizing evidenced-based testing methods, carried our by a third-party source, the Tech-Transfer Program of the Ontario Beekeeping Association (https:\/\/www.ontariobee.com\/ORHBS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also take great care in selecting hives (drone mothers) with desirable traits to surround and saturate our mating yard. In addition to hygienic behaviour and low-varroa growth, our breeding program selects for winter hardiness, quick-spring build-up, honey production, calmness (“comb stability”), and gentle temperament. Each year, we infuse our breeding program with proven Ontario stock from some of the other excellent breeders in the ORHBS program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have implemented instrumental insemination in our program to ensure the greatest degree of precision in stock selection, for the continued sustainability of honey bee colonies in Ontario and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that livestock orders are not confirmed until payment is received.
