The Buckfast strain?

[Carsten]

So going back to the original question a bit

Buckfast origin:
1920 - cross made between dark leather colored italian and old English
1940 - french bee cross was introduced after a ten year development
1960 - the greek cross was incorporated
1974 - the anatolian http://perso.fundp.ac.be/~jvandyck/homage/elver/pedgr/ped_BA_1974.html There you can see that this is the first year the anatolian comination was to be called Buckfast after a 10 year development.

and it continues.

'Stay awhile and listen to old man.'

Naa, I am not certain.

(I discovered alot of hits on my homepage recently because of this diskussion.)

The most known, and most used queen/drone line is 62' Anatolica. This is it.
Spread allover and presented by 'New Buckfasters' in several underlying hybrids inside EU.

Staring up new line? - go for the F0 and spare yourself alot of work.
Be sure you get the TRACES EU health certificate with your order.
