And yet for so many years they were said to breed true as
to color and other markers (national Geo Mag even). Also,
what is dark and distinctively striped as this is double
meaning to many?...is it a turn to black? or is it simply
darker coloration of originally seen Italian coloration and
hence the problem? Can you clarify.........for when you say
dark many perceive all black and this is just not true, nor
has it ever been for Scuts! Also, it shows how yellow in
coloration maybe our bees have been artificially
bred........ Ending, which European honeybees may show
similar coloration? This needs to be talked out for
understanding by many, so this problem can be understood
and then possibly bred for control. Do Europeans see it as
as problem also?
