The most direct way to breed for super viruses is to pack a large number of
hosts in close proximity.  Commercial beekeeping exactly fits the bill.

FWIW, I am not recommending that every beekeeper start dumping RNA products
into their hives.  I personally seek out and  breed from survivor colonies
in yards that have crashed.
