    Our country today is a mixture of bee carnica, Buckfast and mellifera caucasica also. Shares difficult to determine, cubital index 2.3 on average.
    I have bees land F14, they are very peaceful, lots of honey, little swarm and no chalkbrood.
    In Germany there is no station for mating the queens dark bee.

    Yes, I agree - lovely photos and a beautiful queen. I like the term 'bee bulls', Hors - but I can't see any in Keith's photos.

    I suppose with your question, 'what is a bee?', you are referring to the workers. The castes are called queen, worker, and drone.

    Are you sure, Hors? I can't see a single blunt abdomen belonging to a 'bee-bull'! Maybe one ...
