Beeneology

As our apiary grows, it gets harder to remember all the generations of bees.  So here is our beeneology.  Both of our original queens from Bob Egan were Carniolan (Apis mellifera carnica).  However, Rosie, the replacement queen we bought from Peggy and Richard in 2012 was a mix of several different subspecies.  So Rosalind and Rosemarie's bees have a slightly different make-up than the rest of our crew.
