Florence has been researching bee suppliers and found the following site that claims to have bred genetically resistant stock. They are from Lynn Grove, TX and they have been serving the beekeeping community with quality bees and queens for 120 years. They say through breeding, they have bred a strain of honey bees that are even mite-resistant. And they say their bees have been chemical-free for over 10 years.
