Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lusby,
Thanks for the letter of March 19th and the samples of bees.
We did the biometrics now and it resulted in clear differences
of your black bees compared to the usual U.S. mixture. Your bees
are quantitatively significant more towards Apis mellifera carnica
und Apis mellifera caucasica. The Italian influence is very limited.
We thank you again for your hospitality. Hope to meet you some
day again. Attached you will find the values of your samples
(cubital index).
Sincerely
N. Koeniger

Note - The breeder samples used from the home breeder
apiary were also taken from one of the three hives used to send
samples to the University of Frankfurt, West Germany, for their
unbiased quantitative analysis as to what type of bees they were.
No africanization was mentioned in their report back. The USDA/ARS
however, highly identified these bees as Africanized.
The breeder hive in question has since been donated to the Carl
Hayden Bee Research Laboratory for their research and understanding
in basic bee biologies as to how this could happen.
