Dee Lusby,

Thanks. I see that the small cell theory is bigger than I realized. I understand that there are many believers and also that small cell foundation is commercially available. I have often thought that the Italian bee in the US has been selected for large size. Is there a relationship between breeding for larger queens and worker bee size?
