Since
1997 we have conducted accelerated natural selection
from feral colonies
captured in the remote Olympic Peninsula rainforests. 
These Wild Survivors are
crossbred with the superior mite resistance and
unsurpassed hygienic traits of
the best USDA Primorsky Russian and VSH
lines obtainable. We offer a chemical
and antibiotic-free honeybee stock
proven to withstand the emerging pests &
pathogens currently challenging the beekeeping industry. A limited number of our
select queens
are available July through September.
