The solution for the beekeeping industry. Api Culture Hautes Laurentides (ACHL) breeds  queens selected for their natural resistance against the devastating effects of Varroa destructor. ACHL lineages require no acaricides. They save time and money to the apiculturist. By avoiding the introduction of chemical agents into the environment and by favoring robust and productive colonies, ACHL queens represent the greatest hope for the North American bee's survival against the Varroa and Acari infestation that plagues the apicultural industry. A big part of our craft as apiculturist is to implement protocols and practices respectful of both the bee and its environment. By respecting the living that surrounds us, we respect ourselves. We make up a tight community with the bees. They serve us well. Now it is our turn. Breeding for the future starts today.
