Hi Peter,

well I must say I really did like your three posts here.  That was a lot of work but it is a very nice presentation.  Thank you for sharing.

I note your comment about having reservations about wing shape analysis, I found a couple of quite interesting articles which can be found at these links.  The links all go on one line without any breaks.

If there is any difficulty the following google search will pull up the same articles
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=apis+mellifera+subspecies+forewing+venation&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B7GGLL_enTH408TH408&ie=UTF-8

The DrawWing software mentioned in one of the articles may be found at the following link but sadly it is only for Windows users. (yes, not withstanding your reservations)
http://www.drawwing.org/


However...  what I was really wondering is whether there is any way that a bee keeper can identify the subspecies he has?  I know it is not the end of the earth to know but it might be an interesting exercise to find out.
