Prof. Förster, Ludwig-Maximilians-University gave a very informative short talk about DNA and genetic diversity in the honey bee. He has shown a very interesting graphic diversity of races melifera, Carnica and Buckfast. It came to light, what we saw in practice all along. The melifera predisposed scary close.The Carnica has a greater diversity, but is also far too narrow. The Buckfast bee has a diversity that is great. If one wants to measure in points melifera comes to 3, the Carnica to about 50 and the Buckfast to about 150 points. His insight was to the end: Bees are too good to deplete in the (human) purebreeding!
