Last year I ordered a random variation of bee locally from For the Love of Bees but they were so back ordered that I decided to get a few packages of Russians from Honey Bee Genetics from California and a cross between a Minnesota Hygienic and Italians from Papa Bear's Honey from Utah via Edgewood. I'm excited about the mix of types although really I would love to get my hands on a hardy wild swarm.
Topbar Beekeeping
I'm an urban topbar beekeeper in Albuquerque, NM. I manage hives in backyards and small organic farms within city limits. These hives are probably pollinating your veggie patches right now. Visit my website at: http://brownsdowntownbees.com/
