<<Back to pondering  why SMR queens have spotty brood patterns.

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison>>

    Inbreeding? If they're significantly inbred, wouldn't that produce
diploid drones which would then be eaten by the workers, leaving a spotty
brood pattern? Is there an expert in bee genetics in the house?
