I live in the mid-west (USA), specifically the Ohio/Indiana and have no clue what bees I should get for my climate/region. My research only tells me that in the United States, the Italian, Caucasian, and Carniolans are the most commonly kept. Any advice would be appreciated.
you could always look up a local bee club go to a meeting and ask around for what is working in that local area.
Beekeeping is local, maybe can even locate a Split for sale, or a NUC. If there are lots of bees around look at the Swarm Trap threads.
Also concur with Michael local survivors is the best place to start.
good luck
