One of the sharpest beekeepers ever, Leslie Bailey, wrote:
> In spite of all the considerable knowledge of bee genetics and of the efforts that have been made, there is still little evidence that strains of honey bees with productivities greatly above average have been artificially selected and maintained. From the practical aspect under present circumstances, it could well be more profitable to accept established local strains and maintain these by regularly selecting new queens from colonies that do best, than to become saddled with intensive attempts to select and maintain highly selected strains.
