Importing a different race of bees into the Islands may give an immediate
improvement in docility but as soon as the next generation comes along and
the bees crossbreed look for a marked deterioration.  You may jump out of the
frying pan into the fire.  I suggest culling the worst you have and breeding
from the best before trying imports: once you start importing you will
probably have to continue.
