This is the best explanation of one of the most important topics in beekeeping. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting video!! I guess what you called "locally adapted stock" is what many of us call "mutts". I haven't bought bees in many years and only do walkaway splits. My mutts have served me well with no winter loses the past 5 years and great honey production. I like simple. Thanks for all you do for beekeeping!!!
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience with us!
The honeybee has been proven to be native to North America. In 1857 apis mellifera Lingustica ( Italian type) was brought to North America but Apis Mellifera Mellifera ( northern hemisphere) was already here.
In 2017 an apis mellifera mellifera honeybee fossil was found in a dry lake bed in Nevada. It is 100% identical in every way to the apis mellifera mellifera. They named the fossil neoartica.
There are NUMEROUS reports of beeswax being traded to European explorers for European goods mostly in the Bahamas. There are indiginous american words for honeybees that predate European settlers.
The genus Apis does have an extensive history in North America. A long extinct relative of the modern day Apis mellifera was found in Nevada from between 20,000,000 to 5,000,000 years ago, Apis nearctica. However, no modern, extant Apis species are native to North America.
