Just an FYI,,,,Epigenetics has been a topic on this forum. Fascinating stuff. The role this does and may play in the bees behavior and evolution in the environment has yet to be fully understood. Why causes a Queen to to develop with all the behavioral and physical changes when the egg genes are the same??? Diet has an amazing impact.
Thanks for the info
