What term is used for the artificial/instrumental insemination of, for
example, dairy cows?  The same usage should be followed with honey bees
as is used in the rest of the agricultural world.

> Lets all see  future books on beekeeping use the correct terms.  For the archives:
> Lloyd R. Watson in 1927 demonstrated that queen  honey  bees  could be inseminated and > gave us the term "instrumental insemination". After 74 years we should expect bee books > to use the correct terms.
