About Decker Apiaries

Our bees are the most important part of our business, without them we wouldn't have a business. For that reason (and because we just love them!) we take great care to make sure they are healthy and happy. We do not treat our colonies, we believe that our bees should be the strongest they can be...genetically. If a feral colony can make it in the age of Varroa (parasitic mites) then our colonies should be able to as well. We will help them along if needed, but our focus is on choosing genetics that show good traits against Varroa. It's out there we just need to be selective.
