Here in Eastern Missouri, several of us tried Yugo bees. We found they
swarmed a lot. And that, they were susceptible to chalk brood and other
diseases that Carnolans and Italians are resistant to. Also we have
found, the last couple of years, bees from Texas, have gotten more
aggressive than hobbyist beekeepers want to deal with.

After our experience with Yugos we are being more cautious trying
Russians until we find someone else has success with them.
