Peter:
The wing venation is the first criterion and a
follow-up DNA test is required to confirm. Where African
bees predominate, such as Arizona, or Texas, the chance of
having bees free of Africanization is slim.
Reply:
Then when the samples given to several labs match I will
believe this, until then, not having matching reports with
bees from same hives and sample containers sent to
different labs I will continue to think otherwise,
especially with from what I have been told 25% still
un-identifyable fwiw.
