I spoke with a number of Texas beekeepers early this year.  They told me
that (at least in the hill country) you can get by with one open mating of
European stock, but then the next generation is just too hot.

>The story told to me by Steve tabor concerning the semen import into Baton
Rouge

Would you please tell us your recollection of Steve's recollection?

Thanks,
Randy Oliver
