Honey Bee Genetics was purchased by the Tauzer Family in April 2020. Tauzer Apiaries has a long standing relationship with Honey Bee Genetics and wanted to sustain the important queen rearing practices began by Tom and Steve so long ago. Mark Tauzer and the Tauzer Family have been beekeeping and raising queens since 1973.
Today, Honey Bee Genetics still follows the same successful breeding techniques of continuously testing our stock for these traits and carefully breeding our queens to produce stock with specific hygienic traits that help create resistance to Varroa mites and other diseases.
Honey Bee Genetics partners with the USDA and Bee Informed to test their breeding stocks for hygienic behaviors.
