getDronesBv(x, nInd = NULL, collapse = FALSE, simParamBee = NULL)

Arguments

x

Pop-class, Colony-class, or MultiColony-class

caste

nInd

numeric, number of individuals to access, if NULL all individuals are accessed, otherwise a random sample

collapse

logical, if the return value should be a single matrix with breeding valued of all the individuals

simParamBee

SimParamBee, global simulation parameters

Value

vector of breeding values when x is Colony-class

and list of vectors of breeding values when x is

MultiColony-class, named by colony id when x is
