Help me out here. Is my understanding correct?
If you buy a breeder Queen of known parentage both mother and drones then this is classed as F0 - right?
So all its offspring will be F0 genetics ?
Now if you produce queens from this am I correct in thinking the queens will again be F0, but if open mated offspring will be F1 ?
So the further along you go the Queen will always be one line better than her offspring.
So if you buy in an open mated F1 Queen does that mean her offspring are F2 ?
