> This might surprise you, but Buckfast is (well, depends on the beebreeder who selects them) more homozygous ( with higher coefficient of
relationship) and consistent over the generations (and whithin the
population) than many available pure bred races.
Can confirm this after an experience of more than 35 years with that bee.
