I think that things can be done with bee breeding but they require efforts like those of Brother Adam
> Brother Adam devoted some seventy years to breeding improved strains of honey bees. The Buckfast bee, which has become world renowned, is the result of Brother Adam collecting and breeding selected stock from the main races throughout Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. This work has demanded extensive travel, employing a meticulous bee breeding programme, incorporating the use of an isolated mating station on Dartmoor, and careful progeny testing in 320 honey producing colonies in out-apiaries.
> On 2 October 1987 the Swedish University of Agriculture at Uppsala awarded Brother Adam their degree of Honorary Doctor of Agriculture. This honour was conferred in recognition of his life long work in developing the Buckfast bee.
