Buckfast Breeding Register

Welcome to the next generation of Buckfast Pedigrees!

Based on Jean-Marie van Dyck's pedigree data collection with many additional features.

With the above links you will find helpful hints and programs to facilitate the Buckfast breeding organization.

All pedigrees from Br Adam to the nowadays are included.

Insert your pedigree and save the work of Br Adam!

All Buckfast pedigrees are welcome and this platform is open for all Buckfast breeders. There are no costs. Donations are welcome.

Notice for inserting new pedigrees:

Follow step by step the given fields.

1. select a header (Race, Population).

2. Insert the breeder colony number.

3. If necessary select an import status.

4. Insert the birthyear of the queen in the breeder colony.

5. Insert or search mother colony number.

6. If you find no mother or drones and it is an import, check the checkbox field and insert your numbers like this:

  -AnatolianM- for the mother,a -x- for the matingstation and -AnatholianD- for the drones.

  Do not forget an additional text in such cases!

7. Select a mating station.

  If the drones of the selected mating station and the specified pedigree year are registered in the database, the fields Drones and count of drone colonies will be filled automatically.

  If the drones are not registered in the database, insert the drone number and the count of drone colonies.

A breeding value of 100 means that 50% of the queens are better than all queens, 50% are worse. 110 means the queen is better than 84% of all queens. For 120 the queen is better than 98% of all queens.

Last year, the breeding values were normalized with respect to the average evaluation. This year, the breading values are normalized as in beebreed.

More info about the breeding value estimation on https://www2.hu-berlin.de/beebreed/ZWS/do/de/faq.php (in German)

This page provides predicted coefficients of inbreeding (COI) when mating a breeder colony (mother) with a drone colony in 2022.

You can search by name of the planned mother colony and year of birth of the queen of the mother colony. In case the name is part of an anonymous queen (e.g B466(FF)) and the year of birth is the previous year (in 2022 this would be .21) also mating partners for anonymous queens (e.g. that have B466(FF).21 as a parent) are displayed.

If there are multiple hits for the same search, multiple tabs are displayed, one for each possible mother colony matching the search. By clicking on a tab, you can select a mother colony.

Queen bee COI child colony: as the queen of the child colony is a sister of the workers of the mother colony, the queen's coefficient of inbreeding is identical to the coefficient of inbreeding of the workers of the mother colony and cannot be influenced by mating in 2022. This is the COI displayed in the corresponding tabs.

Below the tabs you see the results for the different possible drone colonies. By clicking on the red arrow, you can sort the table by increasing/decreasing COI.

Worker bee COI child colony: the inbreeding of the workers depends on the type of mating. Single Drone Insemination (SDI) resulting in the highest COI, Multiple Drone Insemination (MDI, all drones from the same colony) in a moderate COI and a mating station in the lowest COI. Of course in any case the COI of the parents and their relatedness has overall a very big effect.

By clicking on the “show” button, the full pedigree of queen and drone colonies and their evaluation are displayed.

Note: this is available only for colonies which have been added to the pedigree before January 1st 2022. Updates can be provided in monthly intervals.
