Trainings on the pedigree database

 

For all beekeepers interested in breeding Buckfast bees, we offer a platform with the breeding registry to document the ancestry of their queens along with a pedigree of their ancestors, illustration of the offspring, evaluation of characteristics, etc. of their queens. In addition, breeding series can be managed and tracked from birth, through mating and egg-laying, up to evaluation.

Even though it may sound simple to many, as we know, the devil is in the details. Therefore, we regularly offer training or meetings on various topics and modules every 2nd Friday of the month from 7:30 PM, where information is provided on correct usage, innovations, and updates.

Here are our upcoming dates:
