It does seem ironic that the presence of a few African colonies in Georgia is creating such a stir. California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida have had them for years. Sales of bees from these states haven't fallen off and migratory beekeepers move in and out freely without major incident. 

Non-Africanized states already have laws prohibiting African bees. Will this make bees in Africanized areas illegal? It is my understanding that keeping African bees in hives is completely legal in Arizona and not prohibited in Louisiana or Texas. Florida's laws are different, but the point is each state has a particular situation that they handle without federal oversight.
