I hope you don't refer to Buckfast as "Italian hybrids", as that would
really prove my point of limited knowledge among some UK beeks of what
Buckfast is. I get a bit frustrated with this kind of statements.>>
I've never kept Buckfast, and I certainly didn't intend anyone to think I
was referring to them! They do have a reputation over here for producing nasty
queens in the second generation, which is one reason why I've never tried
them. I want a stable strain.
