This book focuses on fundamental genetics as they relate to bee breeding and breeding principles. Examples of successful and unsuccessful breeding programs are presented, each demonstrating the application of breeding theory and principles.
There are many claims made about breeding stocks of bees that are superior in some traits, be it honey production, defensive behavior, or disease resistance. Most of the claims are unsubstantiated. In this book, Robert E. Page Jr. has selected examples where the sources of the bees for the breeding program, mating designs, assays used for evaluation, methods of selection, and results of valid tests are clearly presented.
