If you want caucasians you can have them and if I had any I'd give them to you.  From that comment you should guess that I've had them before.  The best thing I can say for them is that they are usually very gentle.

I have read that once they become agitated they stay agitated for a while.  Besides that I read an article form a russian beekeeper who is quite fond of his caucasions, and I do not know of a source for them.

I have not talked to Charles but I know someone who has. He is almost impossable to get in touch with and I have heard several people say they ordered and payed for packages that they never received.

I'm working with a beek here who is being trained by Bill Gafford and we  are looking to find another source of caucasians...
