مستخلص: The article reports on the claim of University of Leeds that queen honeybees which have variety of drone partners can increase the disease-resistant property of their offspring in England. Reportedly, researchers believed that the genetic diversity of the hives was the reason why some colonies were destroyed or survived. According to researcher Dr. Bill Hughes, mating with genetically variables males could boost the resistance of bees and protect the populations from disease attacks.
