Queen Rearing April 2021

April 23, 2021

Queen rearing initiatives will begin soon at Best Bees operation centers in Boston and New York. There, larvae will be selected from hives based on both mite resistance and survival rates, with the intention of developing colonies that can better survive cold winters in the northeast and fight off varroa mites with little treatment.
