The first to publish this was Scopoli (1763) in his book Entomologia Carniolica, in which he describes the Carniolan bee (pp. 303–304). Scopoli also reports on the mating of queens with drones in the air in his work Dissertatio de Apibus (1770). The mating between the queen and drones in the air was also described by Peter Pavel Glavar in his work Odgovor (1768) and by Furlan in his book Praktično čebelarstvo (1768–1771(?)). In 1769, Humel observed the mating of the queen and drones in the air. The Carniolan Agricultural Society confirmed his records. In 1771, Peter Pavel Glavar and Matej Furlan confirmed them. Humel's article was published in 1773 in Abhandlungen und Erfahrungen and in 1775 in Wochentliches Kundschaftblatt des Herzogthum Krain. The process of mating between the queen and drones was also described by Anton Janša in both of his books: Discussion of the Swarming of the Bees (1771) and The Complete Guide to Beekeeping (1775). Many incorrectly attribute this discovery to Janša. Janša lectured on the old Carniolan findings regarding the mating of queens. He found out that a queen was inseminated by several drones. The mating between the queen and drones in the air was also described by Peter Pavel Glavar (1776) in the book Conversation on Bee Swarms. The mating of queens with drones in the air is an original Slovenian contribution to the knowledge of honey bee biologyTEXTknjigebooksSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
