I wish that I could say otherwise, Scott.  Dick's post explained things
well.  In order to shift the alleles in a breeding population, that
population needs to be delimited.  Nearly impossible for a single small
beekeeper, but possible for a group in relative isolation, such as Jerry
Shue's in Utah.
