> Who is willing to fund such a study? Seems to me that the commercial bee keepers should want a better queen and thus should be willing to fund the study. If they are not willing to fund the study perhaps it is an answer the industry does not need.
Everybody wants bees that survive, whether you buy bees, sell bees, or collect swarms. I applaud bee breeding projects like those of Dr. Spivak, Dr. Rinderer, and currently Mr. Oliver. I don't support claims based on wishes and hot air. Show me data, not propaganda.
