> Oddly no one has questioned how invasive the africanized genes have become in major US breeding

Not true. A lot of work has been done on this, and I have posted it here. What is odd is that hardly anyone reads it, and those that do dismiss it because it contradicts their misconceptions.

> I wasn't around 30 - 50 years ago 

Well, I was. Queens aren't different, supersedure isn't new. In fact, Dave Tarpy just reported the results of his and his colleagues study which compares today's queens with those over the past 50 years.
