Pedigree tree
Each F0 queen has an interactive pedigree tree that lets you trace her lineage across multiple generations. Visualize maternal and paternal ancestors, explore connections between lines, and identify the founders of your breeding program.
Navigating the tree
The tree is displayed interactively on each queen's detail page (Pedigree tab).
- Zoom and pan: use the mouse wheel to zoom, click and drag to move around
- Clickable nodes: each ancestor is a node you can click to access its record
- Colour coding: nodes are coloured by type (personal queen, public queen, unresolved ancestor)
- Automatic layout: the tree arranges itself automatically for optimal readability
Display depth
You can choose the number of generations displayed:
| Depth | Max ancestors | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| 3 generations | 14 | Quick view (default) |
| 5 generations | 62 | Lineage analysis |
| 7 generations | 254 | Deep research |
Select the desired depth via the buttons above the tree. The default depth is 3 generations.
Trees with 7 generations can contain a large number of nodes. Loading may take a few seconds depending on pedigree completeness.
Data sources
The pedigree tree resolves ancestors from the unified queens_f0 table, which contains both your personal queens (owner_id = your user) and public reference queens (owner_id IS NULL) imported from national registries and the breeder community. All queens are public and visible to all authenticated users.
Resolution works by matching the external identifier (serial_number) and, if absent, by the queen's name. Ancestors not found appear as unresolved (greyed-out node with available textual information).
Clickable links
Each tree node is interactive:
- F0 queen (your queens) → redirects to the queen's detail page
- Reference queen (BeePass Index) → redirects to the detail page in the BeePass Index
- Unresolved ancestor → displays available textual information (name, identifier)
Tree quality depends directly on the Dam external ID and Drone sire group ID fields filled in when registering your queens. The more complete these fields, the richer the tree and the more reliable the breeding values.
