Just a short note on some of the comments of genetics being changed or affected
by what the bees eat.  I think that what was really meant by this statement is
that the way the genes are expressed--the expression of the genes--can be
affected by diet.  The genetics are not changed.  The DNA is not changed, but
how the genes express themselves can change depending on the dietary inputs.
I think this is what Dr. Stefan was meaning, and it is a logically valid point.
Better diets and nutrition and all animals and plants are better able to resist
diseases and stresses IMHO.
