At our county AGM today we had a talk from Prof Francis Ratnieks of Sussex  
University who is getting encouraging results in selecting hygienic bees from  
native (Amm) stock and hopes to make queens widely available.
 
He's using the liquid nitrogen test. This isn't available to most  
beekeepers. What do people think of the pin prick method of detecting/  evaluating 
hygienic behavior?
