I was left wondering what will be done if the day comes when there are only hot bees left, but if that'swhat the future holds I suspect the bigger problem will be finding locations, not finding bees.
You can control hot bees by way of instrumental insemination of the queens, and frequent monitoring of your hives for aggresiveness. At least that is my humble opinion, and hope. I am looking into the costs of learning how to artificial inseminate, equipment and training, with the idea of possibly providing insemination services to my area beekeepers. They provide the virgin queens and the drones to service them, and I provide the insemination services. What do the rest of you think of this solution to the Africanization problem?
