>> Makes one wonder about possible Africanization.

Does it matter whether or not the colony has an AHB influx?  If the bees are aggressive to the point that they become detrimental to the beekeeping effort, they need to be requeened.  Doesn't matter the source or amount of genetics involved.  What matters is the general behavior of the colony and whether they can be worked comfortably and not be a danger to the environment in which they reside.
