Chris:  I've never been sure whether the crosses were especially bad tempered or just comparatively bad-tempered against the well-behaved pure bred bees. Is this just a regression towards the mean or is defensiveness in some way enhanced?

I'm inclined to believe the former because I don't see a good mechanism for the latter, but a few very mean colonies have have had me wondering.


Chris, what do you mean when you say "pure bred bees"?  And what do you mean when you claim bad behavior is "regression towards the mean"?
