Two points I notice.   1)  Southwest (Tuscon, AZ Bee Lab) -  Africanized bees?    2)  Isolated mating sites?  - VERY difficult to come by.  Needs to be more the 3 or 4 miles from other colonies (from what I have gathered).   Premise seems to be good, but finding actual conditions without Africanized bees, very questionable in my mind.
