Dear Isis,
I read with interest this discussion. It might shed some lights on the
type of bees that is on the centre of this discussion, if you send samples
for testing for Africanization. There is a free service available for
testing bees for Africanization using morphmetrics. Please check this
website: www.ars.usda.gov/research/docshtm?docid=11053
If further testing using DNA will be needed, you can contact Dr. Eric
Mussen at University of California, Davis ([log in to unmask]). He might
be able to arrange for the DNA testing at California Department of
Agriculture where they do routinely this DNA test for Africanization.
