Don't know if I can go along with this concerning
honeybees.
In the wild, races/strains do come together as they
transition into and out of climatic regions. Were they come
together then they become simple hybrids for the transition
with each on one side I would think. But they must meet in
the middle for food, mating, and environmental living, to
together produce a simple hybrid............
Isn't this what Italian are in a way? A thoroughbred hyrid
bee that Cale used to write about and talk about the price
we paid for not paying more attention to colour in our
breeding practices to maybe match Nature more.
