My Dark Queen

Even the photos don't do her justice.  But she is one heavy laying mother.

She looks just like some Bees I picked up last year.  They were rearing large amounts of Brood early in the year (Jan 15) with excellent pattern.  Were supposed to be a mix Russian-Carnolian-Caucasion but don't know for certain.  Great workers, brought in large amounts of pollen and honey.  But would start stinging if you got within 20ft of the hives.

Is that one of those South Floridain open mated queens? :evil:

Nah, it must be one of those inbred melliferia melliferia .  :evil:
