This is one of the best things I have seen here in a while, on several levels. To go and on about locally adapted bees without a clear definition of what they are or even if they exist,-- is to fill the atmosphere with just that much more hot air. Which the world does not need at this point! Generally, reality is not a particular important prerequisite for making dogmatic assertions, in any case. Clear definitions, reality based discussion, scuttle dogma. It is very short step from idealist to ideologue.
