Keith Malone <[log in to unmask]> wrote: anyone selling Buckfast, Russians, NWC, SMR, Etc, or any number of queens with a name other than their Latin name is possibly patented.When replicating a patented item, isn't the person doing the replication supposed to pay a fee for each item replicated for sale?  Query:  To whom do we send our fees to when we try to breed Buckfast queens, Russian queens, NWC queens (Sue Cobey?), the SMRs (Baton Rouge Bee Lab?)?  As far as I know production of any of thses strains of bees is allowed without compensation to any one person.  Am I mistaken?
