At great risk of another severe lashing,  
I fear that I must agree here with Allen on this one.

From where I sit, a good beekeeper makes sure the bees can serve 
themselves and survive, by making selection of ‘bees needs traits’ 
essential for survival.  Better balanced with essential traits, the 
beekeeper can then breed the economic traits needed for the bees in return 
to serve the beekeeper. 

Joe, thinking, why do we need to make slaves out of bees instead of 
partners? 

Best Wishes,
Joe
