A very strong case is made for promoting and selecting for hyper-polyandrous behaviour in honey bee queens by Keith Deleplane, Professor of Entomology, University of Georgia. Polyandry for mite suppression, colony health and increased brood production are discussed along with inbreeding, drone congregation areas, mating behaviour, recessive and dominant sex alleles and much more.
