Send me an Email with your
VSH/Survivor Honeybee Questions. I will reply
within 2 to 4 days if you are truly interested in our honeybee queens
developed over a period of 17 plus years with superior genetics including,
VSH/SMR, Minnesota Hygienic, Russian and other races and traits all while in
isolation on 650 plus acre sites. I and my Hives have been both
Chemical and Pesticide Free for over
10 years with average
survival rates greater than 86% in 8 of 10 years (68% and 82% in 2 of 10). For
those of you that are interested in VSH Survivor Queens the VSH Survivor Queens that we sell carry
at least 50% of the VSH traits and that is enough per Dr. John Harbo to control
Varroa. Please see:
http://www.harbobeeco.com/VSH/ for more information on Dr. John Harbo and
Harbo Bee Company. Dr. Harbo was the co-discoverer of the SMR/VSH trait and did
the majority of the VSH Research at the USDA-ARS Honeybee Research Station at
Baton Rouge, LA until he retired.

Regular 2017 Carolina Survivor Queen Prices:
Your
Choice of either our grafted
VSH F-1 Carolina Survivor (Dr. John Harbo's
pure VSH Breeder Queen's
daughters
) or our own
Nortons Carolina Survivor Breeder Queens
from lines developed from over 17 years of enhanced and natural
selection:
These two
different type queens are
open mated
on an isolated
campus with Feral Survivor Drones
having VSH/SMR, Minnesota Hygienic, Russian, Italian and German Black
genetics from over 17 years of natural selection from and within our
mating yards with Drone Mother, and Breeder Queen hives on isolated 650
plus acre sites. During this period of over 17 years many of these hives
swarmed and settled within the confines and borders of these large
estates and later re-swarmed thus allowing the natural selection of the
above traits help enhance natural survival trails as the "melting pot"
matured over time very much like the Russian Honey bee in the Primorski
Region of Russia. In addition to natural resistance to varroa and most
honey bee disease as well as hygienic behavior the Carolina Survivor
Queens are bred for honey production, having solid brood patterns, quick
spring build-up, and gentleness.
Tier-1 = (42 days
from Grafting)
Tier-2 = (56 days
from grafting)
ALL queens undergo
the
same series of inspections defining a Tier-1 queen. All Tier-2 queens
continue additional inspections for an additional two weeks.
During this time your queen's first hatched brood will be inspected as
well usually a day or two before she is pulled and shipped. Hatched
brood having workers with Deformed Wing Syndrome disqualifies the mother
and she is dispatched. Our inspected and selected Breeder Queens undergo
even further testing.
