Let me know if I can help in any way

Why would there be inbreeding with Artificial Insemination? There shouldn't be any if done correctly
I'm a VSH queen breeder here in the US... Louisiana...there is no inbreeding
Great gentle bees...super honey production...winter survival
I test my bees for VSH and have never treated for mites
