This is not sustainable for the clone bees right?

Eventually a disease will evolve to target these bees or the victim bees themselves will evolve some countermeasure. At that point since they are all clones they cannot evolve a defense and will be wiped out.

There are probably still some minor mutations during the cloning (if they found a way to clone DNA perfectly 100% of the time that's a much bigger news).
