From mailings to this list over a long time I gather that Apis mellifera
capensis, the Cape Honeybee can take over colonies of Apis mellifera
scutellata, the African honeybee, (known as AHB in the US) when they are
juxtaposed.  Can anybody tell me whether Amc will mate with Ams in these
circumstances?  If they will not, perhaps they should be regarded as a
separate species rather than a separate race.
