Peace Bee and God Save the Modoki Queen Bee
I tend to agree to both sides.
Many queen breeders do a hell of a lot to rise good Queens
but as far a genomics / genetics goes they are all Modoki Bees.
Most beekeepers even knowing the above prefer to call the light colored
ones as Italian (as per ligustica) the dark ones as Carny (as per carnica)
and the rest Mongrels?
