> Does anyone know whether AHB are now in fact "in the Bay Area"?
A recent study documented African mitotypes very near there:
> The northernmost African mitochondria was detected approximately 40 km south of Sacramento (38.1838840, -121.84339480)

[note: these bees were collected in 2014, about 15 miles from Concord, Ca, where the stinging episode occurred. But I ask you, do you consider that behavior typical of European bees? To me, the behavior is the indicator]
