Message: <blockquote data-quote="Breeder of queens Koss" data-source="post: 13814" data-attributes="member: 449">[ATTACH=full]1853[/ATTACH]Continuing the theme of the color of the queens. In the photograph of the queen of bees of the Far Eastern population (type of Primorsky) with the stream of blood of the Bakfast in the second generation. That is, the virgin queen arrived at me (her color was very dark), I inseminated her with a drone of the buckfast, rearing from her daughters and was inseminated once again with a buckfast. And from these daughters, such offspring are obtained. There is no hint that once they had dark queens in the pedigree. Depending on what color the drone will be, what color will be further offspring.    But this is not the most important thing.  Success in breeding depends on the right paternal line.  Initially, the Primorsky bee is quite aggressive, and when pouring bakfast, the bee changes very much for the better. In the second generation, you can already safely work without smoker.</blockquote>
