My fault. I should have said color ISN'T connected to behavior, just like
eye color in humans. Get it? It ISN'T connected. There is NO connection
between the color of bees and behavior. I have seen extremely docile bees
that were a beautiful golden color and ones that were black as coal. And
what is the price we have paid that you are talking about? Sorry, but a lot
of your statements are so vague that I really have no idea whatsoever what
you are talking about. If you are going to join a public forum you should at
least make an effort to be understood, instead of making cute statements
like "You might be surprised!" Frankly, these days, nothing surprises me.
