I understand your point of view, and as a bee breeder, I would expect this. What I never expected was to see first hand bee breeders selecting breeder queens on the basis of how pretty they were (you can't make this stuff up).
What about the Tarpy group measuring "morpametrics" and giving grades to queen producers based on appearance?? Nothing like legitimizing discrimation against short stubby queens....
