I've received a couple of notes from folks sharing info about the strain of bees being developed by Joe Latshaw, including a note from J. Latshaw himself. Info about Latshaw's work is at: http://www.ohioqueenbreeders.com/ Info about Cobey's NWC is at: http://iris.biosci.ohio-state.edu/honeybee/breeding/NWC.html Thanks to all who responded. Bill Daniels
