Yes, most definitely. For since the beginnning when the data bases have been done, with many stating that they are localized data bases, and bees sent in from other areas need to be looked at differently testing wise and compared to their own areas taken from (aka even the original FABIS system), they still try to compare bees from other geographical regions to their own, knowing ahead of time the results are breached before even done. It's like comparing apples to oranges, instead of oranges to oranges. You cannot lump all bees in USA into one standard base. It simply won't work. You need it broken out region by region and latitiude to latitude and longitude to longitude. But what do common beekeepers know when politics is basically being played instead of actual analysis in a way. But should we even talk such things......unless we really want problems solved!
