Hello All,

Bob Harrison quote:
> >  Dr. kerr spoke about combinations of genes in AHb over 35 years ago. he
isolated three which he *claimed* caused aggression in AHB.

Gene  research was Dr. kerr's vocation. Geneticist was the way he was
referred to in all publications. Most writings about Dr. kerr on the net say
*pioneering geneticist*.
The two USDA researchers which were the U.S. contact to Dr. Kerr in the 60's
felt like grade school kids talking to a college level geneticist they told
me.
I have searched the net for many hours and to my knowledge only references
to Dr. Kerr's work exist.
Are any of Dr. Kerr's experiments and  conclusions around for the public to
see or posted on the net?
If not then all we can do is ponder  about what Dr. Kerr learned about genes
in honey bees from his many experiments.
Sincerely,
Bob
Ps. Two most noted facts about Dr. Kerr
1. African queen release
2. first to ship frozen bee semen
