>I think I know a person who made a great contribution: Ludwig Armbruster. He was a priest but also a scholar. In 1919 he published a book "Bienenzüchtungskunde" (the art of bee
breeding in genetic sense).
Thanks so much Ko de Witt for responding. Sometime
ago ‘if I recall correctly’ it was a topic of researching
the fascinating world distribution of bees, I believe
several of the documents cited Bienenzüchtungskunde.
My research into Bienenzüchtungskunde was abandoned
because I could not find a translation of this work.
If a biographical sketch of Ludwig Armbruster exists,
this would be a valuable addition to the Historical
Honeybee Articles archives.
