What is your point?
Why erect a false construct here to haul this discussion on to your
favoured ground?
Who introduced any concept of artificial and non natural? ( I agree with
Sue Cobey on the term 'instrumental' anyway as the bee is NOT being
inseminated with artificial semen.)
FWIW these were naturally reared and naturally mated queens.
