Missing contributions
Bo Vest Pedersen: “On the phylogenetic position of the Danish strain of the dark honeybee inferred from mitocondrial DNA sequences.”  This contribution was at the conference regarded as especially important, as the results seem to give new arguments for conserving the dark bee
It is published by:
Zoological Museum, Copenhagen in: Entomologica scandinavica, Vol. 27,1996

“Distribution of Apis mellifera mellifera in Yorkshire and Wales” by
C.L. Kibbler and T.J. Crawford is published as an own print by the University of York

Very regretfully we have also, due to technical problems, no paper on the very interesting talk by John Dews on the viking bees of Jorvik.
