Roger, and Bob:
As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as too much information
about honeybee genetics. Since the Russian bee first entered my
consciousness, I have been beyond fascination with the whole grand scene. I
have been curious about the seeming ambiguity of its origins, especially
with several "experts" apparently having convinced themselves it is mostly
derived from Carniolan stock. I did read something last year about the
Macedonian connection, but couldn't find enough additional material to do
more than further pique my interest. Nailing down the DNA certainly advances
things, eh?
 What I would appreciate tremendously is a collection of links to all things
related to honeybee genetics,  no matter how esoteric.Maybe you fellows
could provide what you have with your upcoming posts under this subject, and
of course I respectfully  urge anyone else to add what they might have as
well, though it goes without saying that would occur. The energy and
thoughtfulness applied by  the membership is what makes this list absolutely
superb!
By the way, a resource of this caliber does not evolve without dedicated
effort, and no doubt some pain. My gratitude to those whose positive
contributions and vision have set the tone, and strive to maintain it.
