Honey production and tolerance are not mutually exclusive. You can have
both, but, as Medhat noted, you first have to define your priorities.

I had a Tracheal tolerant colony that did nothing. Gave it to another
beekeeper who could not keep any colonies alive. He was very appreciative
and I was happy to get rid of a non-producer. Yes, it did survive, even with
him.

It should be noted that Medhat's original research was with Tracheal which
worked well, so we are in a continuum.
