Drones Haploid and Diploid.

[The Drone Ranger]

Hi GG
I don't know if it is still used in bees (it is in chickens)
Line breeding involves breeding of two separate lines
Each line is inbred to fix the characteristics
The two lines are crossed to get hybrid vigour that's the one that is sold
Black Rocks are bred this way that's why you can't breed your own by just crossing a Barred Rock with a Rhode Island Red

In bees that could only be done by instrumental insemination
Any open mating means multiple drones even when trying to breed say Amm
I think one or two people on here might have some experience of Instrumental Insemination
On its own its a bit of a dead end
