So what alternative is there? To throw your hands in the air, say oh well,
and buy all your queens from Hawaii, California, or Georgia? From breeders
that are selecting for their own traits and not necessarily the ones you
want? To not even try to breed your own?
It seems to me the odds may not be the best, and it's a tough road to walk,
but still the best option available in the long run is to try and breed
your own. Even if the progress is slow.
