Locally Adapted Queens: Beekeeper Myth or Cornerstone? | Dr. David Peck

What do we really know about locally adapted queens, and how important they are (or aren’t) for our beekeeping? With so many bee lineages being shipped to different climates and latitudes, how important is it to have bees from your own area? Is it better to keep a local lineage with “poor traits”, or to import foreign bees with “better traits”? In this talk we will attempt to answer some of these questions, and may not come up with satisfying answers to any of them. We will explore how evolutionary biologists talk about adaptation, discuss the complexities of the honey bee mating system, and reflect on the value of continued selection on producing bees with our favorite traits.
