> As to various survival-based selection programs, I don't believe we're talking about evolution, but rather leveraging inherent variation to drive genetic and/or phenotypic adaptation.
OK, call it what you want. Why would "Darwinian beekeeping" produce results more desirable than human selection for disease resistance,, for example?
There are a lot of assumptions there, like mother nature does it best. This is the same nature that is providing the diseases and parasites. Look, I am an ardent admirer of nature, but somehow it's hard to see beauty in parasitism.
I don't want to rid the world of varroa mites, I just want them to go back to hell where they came from, and take ticks and scabies with them.
