    DNA is a bit old hat for us now. You want to be playing with miRNA at £18.00 per sample to extract. Just finished a re furbishment of a genotyping lab and just spent £6M on the equipment

    Thing is though Jimbo DNA might be old hat in your neck of the woods but its very new hat in beekeeping

    What if we are supporting protection of a population of bees on Colonsay and at the same time there is a much better match to AMM elsewhere

    Also DNA could be done on drones who mirror the queens they come from (and you should only need 1 in the sample)

    That drone ranger guy is clueless -- check the web --DNA extraction is a tricky business
    He probably is thinking of the one where they just set things on fire (gas chroma something or other)
    The drone for testing would probably need to be posted alive and kicking
    He's a moronic cretin and I'm saddled with him!

    Is that so Tonto well here's some people trying to get DNA from propolis (might be a scam)

    And let's just keep the discussion on an adult level you steaming pile of buffalo poo

    Voices in the head is no problem they say unless you start to answer them.

    Jimbo Joking aside will there be a map of near AMM by the time the Acarine project and your scanning project complete ?

    I watched the news this morning and a kid had built his own DNA analyser for £400 in his bedroom to check his brothers DNA.
    He says he proved his brothers red hair was a mutation (and not a milkman) phenomenon
