OHB Golden West Package Bees

Introducing the Golden West Package Bees, exclusively brought to you by Olivarez Honey Bees, world's largest package and queen producer, in partnership with Valor Honey. 
 
With the Golden West Package Bees, you can trust that you're getting the highest quality bees for your honey production needs.
Each year they split and requeen all their 1500 hives, solely with daughters of queens that headed the previous season’s most mite-resistant colonies.
Breed only from queens whose colonies are very gentle and healthy, exhibited above average honey production, and proved strong for almond pollination.
 
This package boasts the best Varroa mite resistance on the market, ensuring the health and longevity of your bee colony. 
"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.” But it looks like you’ve currently got about a 50% chance that any of their queens might produce a resistant colony – a figure that we expect to improve each year. Keep in mind that even their “partially-resistant” colonies require fewer treatments." Souce: OHBees.
 
Our package bees come with a queen bee and about 12,000 healthy bees to start your hive.
