Mr Michel reports that the UK indigenous bee, Amm, is extinct.  The last time
I took a sample (some months ago) and recorded colour, cubital index,
discoidal index, pilosity and tongue length all the bees in the sample had
characteristics typical of Amm and of no other race.  However all these bees
were indubitably dead so maybe the race is extinct in the UK and Mr Michel is
first with the news.
