VSH is not more measurable. you might measure a trait but that in no way equals a result. what actually matters is the result and we can can measure that even easier.this also goes for other diseases etc. if your selecting for results and lack of failure (breed from the survivors) then you also breed resistance to other problems at the same time. this comes full circle back to having queens that stay alive long enough in the hive.</blockquote>
