"Scientists predict they will have the honeybee genome completely sequenced
in the next few months. They hope it will help honey producers improve their
colonies."

Using the same type of study, it appears to me, could identify the genes
responsible for excellent honey production, temperament, propolizing, spring
build up, and even hygene. Maybe the GM bee is the answer to V.D.
