YUGO BEE?

[Jason G in Tennessee]

Was corresponding with D. Sammataro last week about her book last week.
She is extremely nice and helpful by the way.
I hope to meet her someday in person to talk about acarology.

I have been reading The Beekeepers Handbook and the book said something about a YUGO bee.
Anybody have any experience with them?
They sound too good to be true.

I don't remember how many years ago we tried them. The ones we had were worthless. I don't remember who we got them from either. they never did really build up population wise.

I ended up losing about 25 hives after I requeened with Yugo Queens, they were worthless.They were alot of hype and that was about it.

This is being discussed under "Yugo or New World Carni's"

I'm sure the original poster would like to hear your opinions.
