Russian Hybrid Package Bees

Our Russian Hybrid bee packages are grown here.  We recommend that beekeepers with 3 years of beekeeping experience or more can purchase this product.  Russian bees are better suited for cold winters due to the queen will continue to produce brood into the Fall months, which means the colony will be more robust going into Winter.  Russian bees, overall, are more aggressive than Italian honey bees.  Our Russian Hybrid package bees include: a screen box, sugar water container or fondant block, approx. +/- 3 lbs. of bees, which includes nurse bees, forager bees, guard bees, and drone bees. The colony of bees will consist of one or more Italian, Carniolan, and Russian worker bees.  The Russian Hybrid queen bee will be in a separate queen cage.
