Question to all: is Glenn Apiries the original source of the cordovan honey bee. I've tried to learn as much as I can about US cordovan bees. Information, accurate information is hard to come by. Most of the breeders that I have spoke with can trace their stock to Mr. Glenn.
Cordovan Italian honey bees are commonly used in bee studies, many experiments, due to their color difference. However, detailed information,,,,, well I cannot find an accurate source.
I purchased a bee genetic book hoping to learn more about cordovan. Well,,,, the word "cordovan" is not even mentioned in the index. There are 23 different eye colors in honey bees as detailed in this book, I knew of about 3 different eye colors in honey bees, so what do I know? Not much.
