I am involved in a project to select a honey bee stock with other
desireable characteristics, from within a population which is resistant
to tracheal mites.
Do any of you know of evidence that may support (or not) the notion that
the first crossing of un-related, low-aggression lines often results in
high aggression, which then dissappears (regardless of selection) in
subsequent generations.
