Apis mellifera mellifera(AMM) honey bees

3-1 flattered them. A couple of deflected shots that confused the keeper. They were the better team though - as they ought to be with the money they have to spend!

Your genetics is good. Each of the drones *might* carry a different allele, but in reality there will be many duplicates most of the time, so 15 is just a hypothetical figure.

In reality too there will be multi-year queens around in the apiary and in the vicinity, so mixing should be even better.

The Galtee importer knows exactly what he is doing, and the plan is good. In the process he is flooding his area with native stock from not so far away. For most of us though, we ought to be breeding our own local bees, don't you think?
