    I've got a question or three, looking towards next year.

    What would be the advantages of buying a native queen, or two, in an area full of mongrels where their descendants will probably mate with carniolan or buckfast drones? Would I need to keep buying in? Does anybody know if the native black's, or any type of bee's, genes are dominant?

    I've realised this is probably in the wrong thread, sorry.
