The closeness of Buckfast mitochondrial genome to Italian bees only confirms that 100 years of buckfast pedigree book keeping has been done properly. It has nothing to do with whole genome and...

From the post of unstunghero I understand, opposite to you msl ?, that his original bees were better than nwc bees.

AMM is adapted to long winters, that is for sure. Our winters have become wet, thanks climate change, but before this recent change a long cold winter is actually dry. Very often Finnish homes used...

Sometimes extreme winters when temps may be below or near -20C for two weeks.

Yes, you understood correctly, but I have to add that before the use of my mating station (1995) there were couple years of free mating, and therefore, although continuously in use for almost 20...

Today it was just over zero temps, couple degrees lower than yesterday, and still going down, plus there was no wind: it was a perfect day to listen to the 26 Mini-Plus hives, how they are doing.

Although I consider the formulation of your question strange, I try to answer.

The western honey bee is not native in Finland. It was imported from Sweden and Estonia in the late 18th century...

It is right here this experiment goes on wrong tracks. Free mated bees are kept 4 years and again free mated in a hobby beekeepers yard...
