Questions for Danny:
Are you saying that you've successfully done what we've been
discussing, i.e., "separate out the unique trait from the
undesirable traits" in AHB's, and somehow carried it into a new,
 and reliable hybrid?

What does "scutellata as only a minor part of the
genome" mean with regard to aggressivity, swarming, parasitizing etc?

With no disparagement intended, I have also heard the words
"Weaver" and "hot" mentioned together a couple of times.
What do you make of this?  If it's not the Africanization, then what is it?
I ask because I'm keenly interested in the success of
forward-thinking enterprises like yours, but need help in
understanding your position on these important matters.

Thank you,
Ruth
