Selection only works on heritable traits. You have to show that what you are looking for is a trait and that it is heritable. As opposed to some environmental, chance, or random variation. There are all sorts of variables in bee hives, no two are alike.
Okay, so how do we determine which traits are heritable in bees? With a lot of discussion previous about genetic, and epigenetic, how does one go to figuring them out??
