The Saskatraz breeding program uses recurrent natural selection to select for varroa tolerance in productive colonies with good economic traits, and queens are crossed with VSH bees to increase varroa resistance. Other traits include: fast spring buildup, which results in increased honey production during the summer honey flows. Drones from these queens carry the genetics of their mother, so use of this stock will incorporate the Saskatraz genes into your existing hives by the natural requeening process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaskatraz Hybrid queens have been crossed and open mated with different genetic families, including Italian Hybrid and Carniolan. Since they have such a diverse genetic background, the coloring can be different on the queens, from a lighter yellow color with a black tipped tail, to a tiger striped color, and even a darker black color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll bee sales are non-refundable\u003c\/strong\u003e. *** If you are not sure whether you need a queen, please give us a call first to chat about it!
