My GF lost her hive this year in PA. I haven’t checked on the neighbors down the road. Most bee keepers that are in it for the honey usually keep italian bee’s but the downside is winters take a toll on that species. Russian bee’s produce less honey but are much heartier and can survive our periodic harsh winters.
