Saskatraz hybrids are produced in Northern California (Orland area) exclusively by Olivarez Honey Bees using Saskatraz breeder queens constructed in Saskatchewan, Canada by Meadow Ridge Enterprises (Breeder and CEO, Albert J. Robertson).

Saskatraz breeder queens are selected for honey production, wintering ability, temperament, tracheal mite resistance, varroa tolerance / resistance and brood diseases .The Saskatraz breeding program uses recurrent natural selection to select for varroa tolerance in productive colonies with good economic traits.

Glen is the man! Great prices, great advice. Well worth the trip



~Kevin Kennedy

If it wasn't for Glenn I would probably be washed up with the bees, being miss lead and over sold. It would have been really unfortunate to not continue on. Thank you for your time, wisdom and kindness.


~Shelley Bedard

Glen Lawton's honey is the best. We also bought two new queens (queen bees) this year and both of them are laying eggs and doing absolutely wonderful. We can't thank you enough for your good help, advice, great conversation and wonderful honey, bee products and services.



~Ginger Brigid Kelly

Can't say enough about Cedar Lane Apiaries. I have another local supplier that is closer to me but I take the journey to CT from RI because of the great customer service AND support you get from Glenn.
