Those results are contrary to the experience of the Calif queen producers
that started selecting for freeze-kill hygiene some years ago.  Their rate
quickly went way up.

I also found freeze-kill hygiene to be easy to increase in a breeding
population when I selected for it in my stock back in the 1980's.

Likely Jose would indicate the same for their experience in Baton Rouge.
