Speed of bees and flight and density of body is nothing
new, or at least I thought it wasn't.

Are you new to beekeeping?"

Dee, with all respect, i don't necessarily agree with the tone in Olda's
question (and i know he's a knowledgeable beekeeper) or in your reply, but
the fact that something was written eighty years ago doesn't necessarily
make it true or a basic fact. Smoking tobacco was considered harmless in the
1920's, for instance.

If one could manipulate a bee so that it builds 1 mm cells and has the
density and flies at the speed of an M16 bullet, how much honey would it
collect and would it be completely varroa free?
