Eye candy for your viewing pleasure. In the pic are normal colored dark Italian honey bees with the very yellow pure Cordovan honey bees. The very yellow bees are produced by artificially inseminating Cordovan queen with Cordovan drones resulting in all Cordovan very yellow offspring.
I will be breeding more queens this week.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth. I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact. I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding. I do not sell queens, I will give queens for free but no shipping.

I love the deep mohagany stripes on the Cordovans. I picked up a swarm a few years ago that had some cordovans. For a recessive trait I was amazed how it permeated a couple of my bee yards.

Thank you both. The Cordovans are striking to me and so gentle. I have 5 Cordovan queens to artificially inseminate Friday. I do become anxious when time to inseminate, so many ways to go wrong.
Blessings

Great pic Van. I haven't seen those Cordovans in my neighborhood so the difference is striking. Mostly Italian mutts or Carniolan mutts around here.
