> To breed pure bees we need more properties than colour for selection. To measure the vein pattern on the wings is a reliable method. As computers and scanners are available for most beekeepers today we strongly recommend using them for selecting colonies for rearing.

Notions of purity regarding bees lead nowhere. Using wing vein patterns to guide breeding is as wrongheaded as using color. I will be discussing this and other topics related to bee breeding at the SABA seminar in March. See you there!
