Reply:
What is stable and pure with usage of IA and closed
population breeding methods so that after 15,20 or more
years they then fall apart or are so weak that they are not
worth anything for really doing like real pollenation work
or production? What is stable with limited sources for
factory farmed bees that then are scattered to the 4 winds?

What is really stable and "pure" by the way?......and if it
is not, then going back to basics again: There are yellow
bees and brownish, and black and older deeper orangish
bees, and they transition in and transition out of various
zones naturally with simple mixing only, not what man does.
