We are excited to be able to offer VSH Nucs again this year. The queens in these nucs will be the F1 (first generation) daughters of a artificially inseminated VSH Stevens Bee Co breeder queen. The breeder queens are tested by the queen breeder to insure VSH traits. The F1 Queens you will receive have been mating in Paul's Honey Farms Operation
and are specially bred for their natural resistance to Varroa mites, the number one cause of hive loss. These bees detect and remove Varroa mite-infested brood cells, promoting hive health and reducing the need for chemical treatments. Their resistance leads to stronger, more productive hives and sustainable beekeeping practices. Although VSH nucs are much better at controlling mite populations, testing for varroa mites and treating, if needed, is still recommended.
Our personal experience with VSH bees: We have been very happy with the VSH hives we have worked with both producers for multiple years and continuing to add VSH stock this to our yards this year. Their mite counts are lower and sometimes zero. We have also found them to be good honey producers.
