Agreed.  However, in most of the "Hot Hives" posts, the original post did NOT name names.  Names came up from responders, not the original poster.  Just as all queens from Texas are not Weavers, all queens from Hawaii are not Kona.  Kent did not name Kona, others assumed if the queen came from Hawaii it must have come from Kona.  And remember, regardless where the queens are bred, open mated queens are a crap shoot.  Unless one is paying for a tested queen or an II queen, the product they are buying will have varing results.  Hot hives happen, regardless of breeder.
