Hi George & all

Not wishing to stir up George's wrath or ruffle his 'horsefeathers', but it
does depend on what features you are trying to propagate by breeding...

Thare are some features like 'longevity' and 'supercedure' itself that occur
in supercedure strains. These features are highly prized in AMM strains of
bee.
