The problem is that you think I am trying to present a consistent point of view, which I am not. I am interested in exploring the details. You are entitled to come to whatever conclusion you reach. Insofar as standards, I would start with the following. All of this stuff is available, you don't have to hunt for it.

Standard methods for rearing and selection of Apis mellifera queens

But it matters little if there are standards, if producers don't adhere to them. I will say for the umpteenth time, the proof is in the product. I have shopped around and I know where to get good queens if I want them. For making increase, any new queen will do, she can always be replaced by something better later in the season.
