List of honeybee races

	Buckfast bee - Biocrawler
		The Buckfast hybrid bee was a honeybee developed by "Brother Adam", (born Karl Kehrle in 1898 in Germany), who was in charge of beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey.
		In the early 20th century bee populations were being decimated by "Isle of Wight" disease.
		This condition, later called "acarine" disease, after the acarine parasitic mite that invaded the bees' tracheal tubes and shortened their lives, was killing off thousands of colonies in the British Isles in the early part of the 20th century.

	Introduction
		Worker bees are responsible for the maintenance of the hive and for the care of the brood.
		The resistance of the Buckfast strain is due chiefly to a lower infestation rate among bees in a colony, as compared with susceptible bees (Danka and Villa, 1996) (Slabezki et al, 2000).
		Resistance of Africanized bees (Apis mellifera L.) as a cause of mortality of the mite Varroa jacobsoni Oud.

		The bee "liner" would wait for bees to return to the honey source and plot a course in the direction of the departing bees based on the time is took the bees to return.
		Bees in dry swarms are often aggressive until a hive is found (or given) and the bees are able to feed.
		Robber bees are often shiny and fler than other field bees due to their age (wear and tear), and use "sneaky" tactics to gain entrance to hives in its effort to rob.

	Buckfast Tonic Wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buckfast Tonic Wine, commonly known as simply Buckfast or Buckie (in Scotland and Ireland), is a tonic wine produced by Buckfast Abbey in Devon, south west England.
		However, Buckfast has become an 'icon' within the 'Ned' youth culture, and groups of Neds can frequently be seen drinking it out of the bottle at all times of day in parks and other public places.

		Moreover, Buckfast Denmark is authorised as an official supplier of Buckfast queens, to maintain the good name of both Br Adam and the celebrated strain that he created.

		Bees can live without the caring of people, in the wild or even in villages, in tropical areas and where the winters are harsh.
		Most of the bees in Europe are kept by beekeepers and many have been breeding the bee during many years and thus a lot of manmade selection has been made.
		Often beekeepers have lost a big part of their number of bee colonies due to the mite and effects following it, which often are viruses that the mite carry and make entrances for in the bee.

		The station in Buckfastleigh is adjacent to the Buckfast Butterfly Farm and the Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary.
		There is a gap in their presence from 1539 (when the buildings were abandoned due to the dissolution of the Monasteries) until 1882, when a group of French monks discovered the sight and established a small community.
		The bees are hived in a special station in the centre of Dartmoor; keeping them away from other bee populations.

		Thus the Buckfast bee became slower to swarm and extremely non-aggressive.
		At the start of the 1970's, after ten years of intensive breeding work, a new cross-breed was achieved which made the Buckfast bee much thriftier and more resistant.
		The reduced use of propolis by the Buckfast strain is the result of this combination.

		And this Scutellata bee is common in the southern and eastern lowland parts of Africa.
		As the bee I have bred from this Monticola-Buckfast crosses are differing a lot genetically from the main Buckfast strain I feel I have to call the new combination something else then Buckfast, so I call it Elgon.
		Let me also say that it seems, if these bees are more tolerant, that this tolerance is connected in a big deal, to the queen and her pheromones.

		The native dark bee, the Northern variant of the "Apis mellifera-mellifera", had proved to be extremely vulnerable to the trachea mite.
		This system greatly reduces the risk of the field bees drifting, which is a prerequisite for a perfect performance test (according to Brother Adam, this applies to all races of bees, including the Carnica, of which he tested 68 breeding lines in the course of time).
		Scientifically the resistance of the Buckfast bees to the trachea mite was often questioned, or put down to a rapid mutation in the bee population.

		Pure representatives of any race are becoming ever rarer because humans have imported favored subspecies to regions that previously had distinctive type of their own, and the imported bees have interbred with the native bees.
		Differences in the colors of bees may be more pronounced in queens and drones; workers are much less easily differentiated by color.
		Drones are produced from the unfertilized eggs of queens and therefore their genetic characteristics depend entirely on those of the queen, whereas worker bees are produced from fertilized eggs, which means that each worker bee will share genetic characteristics.

		Key principles here are generous amount of space for egglaying, the bees themselves and for storage of food in appropriate timing with the development of the bees.
		You also follow the Buckfast principles when you try out new strains in combinations with the main Buckfast strain, like is done in for example Luxemburg, Denmark and Sweden as well as of course at Buckfast Abbey.

		The bee he set out to “create” would have to display five essential economic characteristics: good-temper, disease-resistance, the ability to produce plenty of off-spring, a propensity for hard work, and a disinclination to swarm.

		Neverthless Buckfast today appears very much as it would have done in medieval times, for when the monks returned to the site in 1882 they discovered the medieval foundations and rebuilt the whole abbey in the style which the Cistercians would have been used.
		The Buckfast queens are bred in isolation in the centre of Dartmoor, but the 320 honey hives are distributed around the Abbey grounds and local farms and orchards until late summer, when they are all taken to Dartmoor for the heather crop - which makes the finest honey.
		The Buckfast monks brought their own recipe from france when they restored monastic life at the Abbey in 1882.
