How can you assume they are the same race of bees you started with
unless you use AI?
You might clear this up for me since I have trouble understanding how
the queen "regresses" unless she is is a new queen raised on the next
size down. If they open mated, it would seem you are back to local bees.
After a couple of "regressions" you would be more local than what you
started with.
