I have a good video showing just that I would copy for you showing how an
expatriate US beekeeper works Africanized bees in Brazil in his queen
operation and pollination outfit. If you are looking for the type of hype
that has been promoted by others then you won't want this video showing
working "killer" bees in cut offs and shorts with no more cover or smoke
then what is average here.
 
The cost would be about $20 del US.
