I have two colonies of Italians. The queens are now 15 and 12 months old 
respectively and I plan to requeen later this summer.
I've heard that Buckfast bees have good mite resistance and are easy to 
work with.
Has any one here in the mid atlantic US any experience with Buckfasts to 
share.
Any other advice?
