Allen Writes:
>Makes one wonder about possible Africanization.

Thats stretching it a bit.
It would take more than a few similarities to
make the jump past wonderment and speculation,
into the realm of positive identification.

There may be several similarities which 
Africanized bees have with European bees,
Each of these similarities may be easily 
explained (if they need be explained at all)
by the influence which environmental 
factors may have on a population of 
honeybees.

You bring up some valid comparisons.
But in the end, who really cares what
the genetic makeup of a honeybee
colony is, if they carry the desired 
traits which are beneficial to beekeeping?
