Hi Jerry

>  However, all rabbits have a father and a mother.

What I did not mention, was that Fibonacci got his sums wrong as far as
rabbits were concerned, but the case for the honey bee fits exactly,
providing the number of generations being considered is large.

The Fibonacci work is quite old, he lived 1170 - 1250.

I am currently pursuing permission to publish some info that was recently
presented both graphically and in tabular form, I will put up a link when
this is done.
