Thanks for that, Randall. I was expecting that it was the same line
staying in that spot.
As a very Newbee tender of hives (beekeeper when they make it through the
winter, if I recall Lewis’ distinction last night
![]() I have put off invitations to visit that farm because I know he’s
going to work me to pieces when he gets me up there, painting or weeding or some
other delightful entertainment I need to do here, first.
But I am getting more and more intrigued by that colony. I wonder if
I can find where new tenants might be coming from....

Subject: Re: [ocba] Feral Honey Bees Kitty, If you are interested in feral bee topics then you may enjoy the Feral Bee Project yahoo group here: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/FeralBeeProject/ One thing to remember about bees "that have been in the same tree for 20 years" is that it isn't likely they are the same line of bees. Far more likely is that one colony will die out & the smell of old comb attracts a new swarm. Successive occupants can appear to be the same colony to the casual observer. I think this may be one aspect of Debbie Delaney's research.
