I do not know if this has been discussed before, as I am not quite sure where things are in VBulliten.
Going back many years to my first package of bees, the Star Lines. Does anybody know of the person that currently holds the copyright/patent (if one exists) for both the Star Line and MidNight bees as I was wondering if it would be feasibly possible to recreate the line.
The only person that I can confirm that was in the star line program was Mel Greenleaf, as he was creating breeder queens in LaBelle Flordia (as per the brushy mountain DVD) back in the early 90s(?).
If anybody has any knowledge of how these hybrids died out, or any answers to the above information, I would be greatly appreciative to the help.
At the moment, I am trying to figure out if it would even be possible (as for me being somewhat new to raising my own queens) to produce these for my own use, or prehaps buying the patent in order to raise these for general sales.
