Our Italians

As discussed on the Texan Bees page, these genes going into our own breeding program, so we only use the best we can find. We start by constantly bringing in top quality genetics from those that came long before us, like the Parks family lines of Italian bees (now Wooten Queens). The Parks are considered to be pioneers of the bee industry.

We import their super sweet Italian Queens by the hundreds each year. The queens from these lines produce some of the most gentle bees available and are great honey producing bees that build up fast and handle stress well. All traits we all enjoy and strive for in any bee breeding program. 

We recommend checking and treating for mites as needed with any bees, the Italians and our own Texan bees as well. Yes we are breeding for resistance, but the mites are also constantly evolving.
