Why Beekeepers Love Old Sol Queens
"Your Caucasian queens have yet again done well through the past year. They are a breath of fresh air compared with any other queens I’ve used lately and a bit of a pleasant throwback to the good old days when you could depend on queen quality from known producers. But they have their own distinctive qualities that shine through. I am particularly impressed with Winter survival with conservative brood, rapid Spring build-up and very robust pollen collection. Also, my mite counts (daily sticky board) have been amazingly low right through Summer."

"Incidentally, of all the bees I've met, only your Caucasian Queen from last year's nuc seems capable/willing to move up into my supers. All the others just fill two deeps and then start focusing on swarming. I have just about had it with my Italians and Carni's. I'm 100 sold on those Caucasians you are breeding though. They are insanely calm, gentle, prolific, productive, and just all around well-behaved. Far and away the best queens I've met. I look forward to the day when that's all I've got. I wish your Caucasians were the norm rather than the exception to it. They are truly special."

"I love the Caucasian bees I got from y’all last year. Hands down the most enjoyable bees I’ve ever had. Y’all do a great job and I look forward to doing more business with you in the near future."
