Hi Jamie: Here in Uruguay (35º latitude South) we do not have African Honey Bee. We know the AHB has no capabilities to manage the temperate weather and will perish with temperatures less than 10º Cº. This fact, stopped them in Africa between tropics which in America is Sao Paulo at South and Florida in the North. Programs of intensive breeding and artificial insemination could change the aggressively of AHB, but these programs in my opinion could also improve the capability of AHB to survive in temperate climates. Is a personal fear, but also a question I do to list members. Have luck with your project Carlos Aparicio At 05:07 PM 13/11/1997 -0800, Gary B.
