Hi All

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think queen quality is a math problem. Biological processes are far too complex to solve with arithmetic. In any case, there's no proof that "bigger is better." Look, we got a bigger president but we aren't better off for it. I think "queen quality" is something we have not been able to measure yet. But fortunately, the bees are not stuck with the one they have, unlike some spouses.
