Tecumseh from this board sells them as well.
He's in College Station Texas. He rarely checks
in here anymore but is on another board often.

I think??? tecumseh sells cordovans not caucasions.
Most likely any that you do find would be mutts.

I too have been looking around for this bee. (or trait)

I found a few places selling queens and that's it.

For packages, I found one place selling them for the 2012 season, although freakishly expensive...

They want $100 for a 3# package. Shipping charge for packages not listed however considering they charge $16.65 to ship a $40 queen I would imagine a package total cost would be around $150

Russell Apiaries has them. One of the queens is in my second best hive this winter. The first is the Sunkist.
