My understanding is also that the field determinations of "Africanized" bees
(i.e. local lab) are done via biometric data (wing lengths, etc.) but the
definitive testing is being done using the DNA methods which are much more
costly.  These DNA methods are also probabilistic in nature and would only
indicate an X % match to an Africanized vs. a European bee.
