>    Have you looked at the latest issue of American Bee Journal?  

in Feb ABJ Jerry Hayes said : 

What are the chances of AHB becoming less Africanized after mating with EHB?

Because of accidental and purposeful introductions of AHB into all of the US
from queens and packages from the Southwest and West in the last 10 years or
so, it is a non-issue

[in] our Southwestern and Western states, EHB has disappeared from the wild.
Where onces it was the dominant race, now it is gone.  

[I am surprised no one picked up on this ... pb]
