The Buckfast hybrid bee was a bee developed by "Brother Adam", (born Karl Kehrle) in 1898 in Germany, who was in charge of beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey.

I tried to clean up the grammar a bit but wasn't sure what the first sentence meant- was Brother Adam born in 1898 or did he develop the Buckfast bee in this year?

Cheers quercus robur

Judging by the Buckfast Abbey page and what i know, he was born 1898, so I will change it Mujinga 21:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
