I've been away, so apologies for catching up on some threads.
>evolution, at least in the honey bee, is likely to move on a very slow
scale.
Odd to say that, since this thread already mentioned the very rapid
evolution for resistance to AFB in Hawaii. Think about the very quick
evolution of resistance to tracheal mite in North America, Not to mention
quick evolution of resistance to varroa by some races and local strains of *A.
mellifera*. I also see signs of apparent progress in resistance to *N.
ceranae *and SHB.
