I am looking for data about Brother Adam and his work on Buckfast bee. My question is: Is Buckfast bee defined as a strain or as a hybrid. I am looking for morphometric, physiologic, biologic, behavioural and economical characteristics that distinguish that bee from other races. Also, if enzymatic, protein or DNA markers were examined, I would like to get information about results/references. If Buckfast bee already was a subject of discussion, I will appreciate if anyone can give me a clue where are the old issues of the Bee-L. I would greatly appreciate any help.
