– Comments of Brother Adam †1996 ...
Some F1 F-colonies (2) are reproduced to be able supplying pure F1 drones. The daughters of these queens will NOT BE F2 generation: it’s only a second cross (F×B)×B increasing the buckfast qualities. We must now evaluate the daughter colonies to detect these retaining good F desired qualities.

Color code and Abbreviations

Free matings at random : B-xx24 B-xx20

Queens from one strain, but mated by drones from another strain .
Their population and daughters (and drones of them) are F₁ crossed.

Queen and Drones have the same ancestors: combination to increase or stabilize some characteristics

Queen and Drones result of a cross between two different lines : interesting to increase their resistance and qualities.
