The list of hypotheses was simply a rough framework that could be
helpful in discussing the complicated (and controversial) issue of the
existence, applicability, utility, value of genetically resistant
bees. It was not intended to be a perfect final product, and I am
sure with more thought and discussion can be improved. Regardless of
what we think and write, reality is still in the making and only the
test of time will tell.
Many have had poor experiences with supposedly resistant bees, leading
to the concept that their utility may be limited to only certain
environments, or to where they originated. In the current US market,
and possibly worldwide market, anyone can say anything about their
genetic material and sell as many queens as they can produce. So here
is another question that can be crafted into a testable hypothesis:
Are bees being sold as resistant in a given operation really resistant?
