Arthur Hancock, is a famous horse breeder and breeder 
of the 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus.

Is there the same deep concern among bee breeders
that the genetic line can be damaged by legal drugging 
in beekeeping, -breeding honeybees that depend or 
'semi-depend' on drugs.

Relax, this is not meant to be polarizing,
it is simply asking the hypothetical question...

'Can the breeding honeybees dependent, or semi 
dependent on drugs harm the genetic line in honeybees'?

And if not, why would the top horse breeders determine 
this as a serious concern and not the bee breeders?
