Allen email reads:

"It has been proven now that that (sic) proper hygienic selection does
eliminate other good properties in a strain of bees, and the time has come
to get the message across."


I guess this is a typo. Or is it true that selecting for hygienic behaviour
DOES eliminate other good properties of bees?

As far as I understand the process, one have to select before for those
other properties one wants in its bees (productivity, calmness, wintering,
etc) and them from that stock do the hygienic test to end up with
productive, clam, good wintering, etc AND hygienic bees.

Isn't it?
