Purdue Mite-biters
We are now a part of an initiative with both Purdue and Penn State Universities breeding bees that bite the legs off of the varroa mites which have been plaguing them
or "Mite Biting Behavior"
They are very hygienic showing brood removal when we test them using Kiara Wagner's or Buchler (pin-killed brood) assays
Artificially Inseminated Breeder Queen-Mite Mauler SHIPPING JULY Local Honey Purdue Mite-bitersWe now use artificial insemination to produce breeder queens! The Apis Engineering Queen Station is the tool we use to perform this delicate task. We allow queen to lay at least one frame of sealed brood to check performance before shipping. These queens are used for producing daughter queens, not as a production colony. Mite mauler queens are bred from redline genetics that were selected for chewing. They tend to be lighter and produce more honey.
