" It is not a dominant trait, like aggression in African bees, which tends to move into the population and take hold."
> I do not understand the definition of dominant in this context. Surely you do not mean dominant in a genetic sense. Dominant (or recessive) in a genetic sense has nothing at all to do with weather the frequency of a gene in a population increases or decreases.
Right. I am not referring to Mendelian dominance, but dominance in a population. I don't know what other term to use. Strictly speaking, the African bee simply replaces the European bee. VSH on the other hand, may be a classic (genetically) recessive trait. By the way, I am only trying to discuss this, not lay the laws.
