''Mr. Ben, you so noted sisters. I need specifics: do the sister queens have the the same drone linage? Were these queens generated by an AI queen with specific drone linage.
Drone linage can be tricky as the saying goes. Were the drones created by an AI queen, 10-12 drones from a single hive.''
No Sir, I don't believe that they came form an AI situation, however, they, (the sister queens), look almost identical. Their offspring are almost all the same color from each queen with the same good qualities that I am admiring. Now some or the first hatchings from these new splits, came from capped brood from feral hives that I cut out of folks homes and gave to the splits in-order to get them off to a good start, But when the new queens brood hatched, they were all, as far as I can tell, the same in color, a beautiful yellow-ish color. The feral bees were a darker color almost black, including their tails, excluding the hairy parts of their body which are a dark grayish yellow color. As far as I know, the sister queens, that I bought, could have indeed been raised form 10 to who knows how many drones and I am assuming as much. OH may I add, the feral bees are the ones that I had mentioned to beepro, a month or so ago in another post and topic, that I had observed dragging SHB from one of the hives. But that is a whole other topic. Thanks for your input thus far.
Sincerely, Phillip
