I hope you don't refer  to Buckfast as "Italian hybrids", as that would 
really prove my point of  limited knowledge among some UK beeks of what 
Buckfast is. I get a bit  frustrated with this kind of statements.>>



I've never kept Buckfast, and I certainly  didn't intend anyone to think I 
was referring to them! They do have a reputation  over here for producing nasty 
queens in the second generation, which is one  reason why I've never tried 
them. I want a stable strain.
