Finally found a descent forum again

[Wraith]

Thanks to Rosie I can finally find information again after bbka destroyed their forum I have been without.
Also recognise some names from the old forum too.
Glad to be here

Thanks Guys spent the weekend training with Steve, had my bees looked at for nativeness not really good news but confirmed my suspicions. This course has spurred me on. And looking forward to another fun year of learning bees don't read books !!

Wraith's bees (Wraith is male, by the way) had 2 interesting anomalies in the vein patterns. I'll post them on an appropriate forum when I get a minute to ask if anyone has seen one of them before. The other has been discussed already.

You talking about that truncated vein which stops short of point 3?

[Rosie]

Nope. His bees did not have that. However, he had the extra stubby vein just above point 0 and he also had another stubby vein protruding outwards from point 18. I'm going to have to post an example now aren't I. I'll put it on here for now and wait for Gavin or Nellie to decide where it should have gone.

Here it is. Lots of the samples showed this but this was the longest example.

Haven't seen that or the other from point zero either.

[Rosie]

I doubt if it's due to inbreeding and recessive genes as his plots were widely spread so they certainly did not look to be inbred.
