Queens without information : L01(JT) B295(JT) Si02(MKV) {pure ligustica (Ciampelli)}

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 are Aunt-Nephews : that would correspond by us to a Sister-Brothers crossing.

Queen and/or Drones have unknown exact origin : that makes unable to find their real status.
