. In  
essence, we are managers of the bee we want and not necessarily the bee  
that would do best as a feral. The only way to have a colony that does  
mesh with the area is to leave it alone.


Beekind and mankind have differing ambitions: theirs is to survive and  
reproduce; ours is maximisation of profits (greatest reduction of loss).   It is 
where these different interests overlap rather than compete that the bee  
breeder should concentrate his efforts.
