Whatever the theory will say, the Americans and the "Westerners"
usually, have a much, much higher risk to have a cancer, including the
beekeepers which sometimes don't care of their diet or the degree of
polution in their environment.
The Africans which are not so rich and eat mainly bananas, vegetables or
un-processed food, and live in a healthier environment and so on, have much
less risk of such diseases.
Again, cancer can not develop in the body unless the celullar
duplication (including the chromosomial "functioning") is disbalanced.
"Diseased" ancestors, having cancers, hemophylia, strokes and so on,
transmits for sure "tendencies" to make these diseases to their offspring.
Weak, diseased bees even if they will not transmit any "bad" genes
in the way accepted by the actual geneticians, they will transmit these
let's say "characteristics", FOR SURE, to their swarms, artificial or
natural, it doesn't matter and this will be reflected in their general
future health and resistance to various diseases, including the viral
related ones.
Again I'm not a bee genetician so I would like to hear the expert
opinion of our specialists from this list, specialists which works in bee
biology (queen, bee breeding) laboratories.
By the way, related to genetics, not to change the subject, I believe
that most of the beekeepers have too a "longevity related gene" on
chromosome 8.
These beekeepers (persons) having a tendency to a longer life, with or
without a wooden leg, :-))
have a certain sign, or sometimes two of them (which is better) on their
forehead.
Has anybody on the list saw also these genetically transmitted signs?
