What this says to me is that the these bees, from a hive in a tree
disturbed by a lawn mower during a dearth period, did not fit into or
failed to pass the "field" test for Afro Bees and to prove they are Afro,
(because they were aggressive and we all know our bees are never
aggressive), much time and  money will be spent to find their roots which
may or may not be African.
 
We will have to wait for the report but don't be surprised if it gets lost
as if they were not Afro then it just another man bites dog story.
