>Like I said, no geneticist here, but I have never understood the belief that by simply  introducing random new genetics it is universally an improvement. Take a smart weak women and a strong dumb man. We tend to believe we will get a smart strong child. Just as likely we get a weak dumb one. Darwin to the rescue. I love my mutts.

So how to ask the question correctly?

What should be the aim of honey mellifera if mitochondrial DNA can be controlled?

  Should cleanliness go to the top and highest breeding level, for the cleanest mitochondrial DNA for the existence of 4 basic super -water lines known according to research?

And then, from these 4 independers, mix according to the recipe or cookbook under the lines that show local adaptability and, for example, create new goods that are proof of buckfast?
