So what has AHB become them, the new nomenclature or
simplistic word for nothingmore then hot bees, as
aggressive bees doesn't ketch public opinion anymore?

If this being true, then the now similar German Black bees
could be said to be AHBs, or whatever, but is this fair to
those living in so-called AHB territory if they have never
seen the so-called changes in behaviour in their hives? And
with politics being politics, and money/regulations being
changed due to it, is this fair trade practice to
beekeepers in so-called AHB areas if they then cannot
practice business/farming as normal, then having to fight
restrictions on movement that other beekeepers in now
political hotness have to deal with? Could restitution ever
be made for this? To the states? To other farmers hurt in
pollenation losses? To beekeepers?
