So I was lucky enough to receive some great bees with awesome genetics from Ontario. As some might of noticed that PEI bees have been in the news for quite sometime now. One thing that never seems to make it to the public is that our bee stocks here on PEI are the equivalent to the boy in the bubble. Our bees have never been exposed to any diseases nor have we tried to bring in any resistant stock. Its very similar to a newborn's immune system and yours, you have been exposed to many viruses over time and are now resistant; however our PEI bees are not. Finally we can now import the much needed genetics to allow our stocks to become resistant to any possible mites or diseases. The above picture is just a couple of the new arrivals, they are going to be a great addition to the bee yard.
