    Found out my queen is one of these. Are they common now? Seems like a good queen.

    I had some when they first came on the market,and were a little hot, but they have improved them. Many of my club members have them and really like them. They are a suped up Italian bee. Jack

    I like 'em. As Jack suggest they can be a bit hot.
