Charlie, you're giving me a good chuckle : )

What evidence can you present to support this?  In many areas there exist
feral populations that are genetically and morphologically distinct from
the managed populations.  If you are going to make statements as fact,
please include supporting evidence.

Every species on Earth has parasites, and every one has to deal with
viruses.  If they had not overcome both, they would be extinct.  Is that
clear enough?

I have indeed really looked at the situation (as I can assure you that Pete
has, as well as many other beekeepers and researchers worldwide), and see a
very different picture than you.

I appreciate your opinions Charlie.  But I suggest that you brush up on
your biology.
