Hello to all
  If a queen is genetically modified for resistance to diseases (mites
etc.), would the patent on the queen apply to a captured swarm?
Specifically to a queen raised from a captured swarm? Also how would it
work if the modified gene was carried with the drone? Would a person be
obligated to pay a license fee for such a scenario?
