About a post on male sterility (or at least lack of
sperm) increase some days ago.

"But inbreeding has a price. If a female mates with a
male carrying her version of csd, half of her brood
will develop into sterile males, despite being
genetically female. Worker bees destroy these larvae.
It's not clear why identical versions of csd cannot
function together - "that's the next mystery", says
Page."
