2025 Golden West Package Bees (Randy Oliver)
2025 Golden West Package Bees (Randy Oliver) are expertly managed by the successful migratory beekeeping operation Golden West Bees. A family-owned business since 2001, they never use synthetic miticides and have developed a breeding program for mite-resistant bees, starting with their Queen Zero noted for a mite count of zero. Get the best bees for your apiary!
Keep in mind that there’s no such thing as a mite-resistant queen – it’s the workers produced by the queen and the drones that she mated with that confer resistance. That said, the Olivers want to make clear that they have not yet “fixed” the genetics for mite resistance into their bloodlines, so they do not yet make any claim that their stock is “mite resistant.”
- Excellent honey production
- Good wintering ability
- Selected for observable decrease in mites
