Hi All

I wrote yesterday that the young cape BEE lays fertilized eggs nutil
she is mated and then after that can lay both hap and dip eggs.

Ooops - I meant the young unmated cape queen bee. We know workers
just lay fertilized eggs for capensis, and sometimes a few haploids
as well, but wrkers cannot mate.

Keep well
