Why do you call them "so-called African bees"?

Reply:
In all these years, I have never seen them hot. They are
like they always have been, easy to work. Also, if one
mating of the queen makes them africanized as was put to us
long ago, and the majority of the matings of each queen are
not africanized or scuts, why cannot this be seen and
broken out, instead of lumping all the colorations into one
pot? Somehow the picture painted doesn't fit what we are
working and no one has ever been able to tell us why?
Besides the fact we were told all that had to be seen was
something different.......yet, we have seen nothing
different.......also, one more thing different with us. We
are self-contained with our bees and have been for decades.
So is there something to working with local stocks being
overlooked?
