There is a detailed description of the Bavarian bee breed testing and last years' results at: http://www.stmelf.bayern.de/ This site uses frames, and I did not manage to obtain a link directly to the bee pages. So, I just can describe how to work through: Click 'Landwirtschaft' in the frame on the lower left. In the main window appearing on the right, scroll down (passing the cows, pigs, etc.) until: Bayerischen Landesanstalt f r Bienenzucht Bedeutung der Biene f r Mensch und Natur Allgemeines zur Leistungspr fung bei Bienen Leistungspr fung f r Bienen an den bayerischen Pr fh fen 1995/1996 1996/1997 Publikationen (in German only, but the figures should be understandable with a minimum knowledge in German) ____________________________________________________________________ Michael Haberl Zoologisches Institut der Uni Muenchen Tel: ++49 89 5902-444 Luisenstr. 14 Fax: ++49 89 5902-450 80333 Muenchen e-mail: [log in to unmask] Germany http://www.ebe-online.de/home/mhaberl/index.htm ____________________________________________________________________
