Both USDA-APHIS and the Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture have maintained a
swarm-trapping program for the past 4 years to detect Africanized honey
bees in Hawaii. So far, results of FABIS indicate all swarms tested are
European with high probability. We consider the chances that Africanized
swarms will enter and become established in Hawaii pretty slim.
