Good to hear from you again Madasafish!
I agree with you on this one Nigel, I could never find gentle bees, they were always up for a fight.
Jim, genetics tells you it is the other way round. It's the local bees influences on the wunderbees.Jim Norfolk wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 12:06My point is this. There are a large number of beekeepers who have worked long and hard to establish relatively stable populations of local bees. Then along comes mister newbee with his imported wunderbees and they hybridise with the locals resulting in aggressive colonies. That is the reason BBKA says buy local bees.
