Yes, We raise the Cordovans as a part of the Starline program. The Cordovan
marker has been used on and off in the Starline program for many years. I
sell open mated Cordavan Queens from St.Ambrose Apairys at the same address
and phone etc. as Hybri-Bees. Open mated queens show some cordavan bees. But
to really see them at their best you should see the Inseminated queens that
show workers and drones at 100%. They look like gold. While the Starline
Breeders that whent out last year were Cordavan the Daughter queens and their
worker would be of the wild type. You should however be able to find 50% of
the drones to be Cordavan from the stalines from last year 1995.
