Follow along as Jose Uribe, a Northern California Commercial Queen Breeder and Beekeeper, heads to Yuba City, California to meet up with Philip Strachan-Russell, Vice President of Strachan Apiaries, Inc. Jose is going to pick up a NWC Breeder Queen that has been instrumentally inseminated with Caucasian germplasm brought in from overseas.

Strachan Apiaries Inc., founded in 1954 by Don Strachan, is the world’s largest producer of the New World Carniolan Queen Bee. The New World Carniolan was originally established in 1982 by Susan Cobey and Tim Lawrence in California. All of Strachan's breeding stock is hygienically tested, and the reliability of the New World Carniolan program is time tested and industry proven. The New World Carniolan line are known for being very conservative allowing the bees to overwinter well, they start to fly at much cooler temperatures (48-50 degrees), they're very gentle, and also hygienic.

Today Strachan Apiaries, Inc. manages upwards of 10,000 hives in addition to their breeding program.

Stay tuned through the end of the video when Jose heads back to Butte County, California to share how we set up our breeders in a timing box in preparation for grafting cells. This year we are grafting an excess of 40,000 cells and producing upwards up 15,000 mated queens using 3000 queen mating nucs from the months of March thru September.

If you are interested in placing a 2022 queen order with us, please email in at thecaliforniabeekeeper@gmail.com or check out our website at www.thecaliforniabeekeeper.com.
