Title: Russian queen program
Post by: BjornBee on February 15, 2012, 11:46:30 AM
Does anyone know the answer to the following?

What year were the Russians that were kept in Louisiana first brought over to the states?

How many years was the queen program funded in Louisiana?

What was the year when they distributed the Rssian lines to breeder and stopped the USDA program?

Thank you.
