I do not think the Idea about geneticly "altering" bees to
be insecticide/pesticide resistant is for the better -
What gene pool is selected for this experiment ?
Are these genetically altered bees thought only for greenhouses ?
What about cross mating in "nature" when they get out of the greenhouses ?
What will it do to vax and honey if you can just spray them with
XXXesticides eg. ?
Killer bee stories in the 70/80īs comes to mind !
When one thinks of the surpises Queen breeders experince when using the
"natural" way for
improving bees - what surprises will come of the Genetic way ?
I think many bee keepers need to stop for a minute and think quality not
quantity !
