So, Dave Hackenberg is quoted as saying he 'needs Africanized bees'.  Dave
pollinates in New York, where we have a regulation authorizing the
Inspection Service to kill bees found to be agressive (not requiring that
they be killed, but authorizing them to be killed (if necessary).  He also
pollinates in Maine, where the State Inspector has long felt that some hives
brought in for pollination are so agressive they seem to be Africanized.

Is it responsible to pick up wild swarms that are likely to be Africanized?
