Hello,

Here I am with this history stuff again...

Someone asked me for info about possible Nazi 
Germany project to Eradicate the European Dark 
Bee.  I remember reading about this, but 'file
thirteen-ed' the article due to lack of credible 
sourcing. 

At the time, the bees commonly kept in Germany 
were the German Black Bee, Italian Bee, and Carniolan.  
So I suppose, if this did happen, it was an effort by 
beekeepers to standardize to a single breed and not 
some evil Nazi conspiracy,,,,not sure.

If true, anyone have a source for this?

Thanks in advance.
