I did find a 1943 paper by Otto Mackenson entitled 'The Occurrence of

Funny, here we go with thelytoky again which is/was know back then by Otto Mackenson to be in all races/strains looked at, though not wanted by most breeders, though great trait.
It needs to be back in all races/strains again for backup queen rearing naturally since it has been weeded out so long....
