Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if you might be able to help me identify what strain of bee this is likely to be? I obtained a small log with a tiny hive in it a few weeks ago and i was able to save the Queen and introduce her in to a nucleus hive... i'm just interested as i want to try and get a range of Queens and assess their capacities under my conditions... Cordovan, Ligurian etc

Best bet is "mutts"...nothing wrong with that though, most mutts are great producers!

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
