Small populations of bees of silver bullet quality have been produced, not once, but a number of times- in controlled settings, carefully monitored, using mostly II. Their varroa levels drop, they fall in a different cloud of values than many less rigorous attempts or those produced by natural selection. Panmixis and the realities of commercial beekeeping tend kill the silver bullet.
