– Comments of Alfred & Sabine Schrüfer ...

Brother Adam had very estimated the race Apis mellifera mellifera on account of their vital qualities and we may never forget how much the „Dark Bee“ was involved in the origin of our Buckfast bee.  Each of us should think about what he can contribute to the preservation of this wonderful endangered bee.
