>Hmm. What about state laws prohibiting African bees?

Legislating AHB has been difficult. maybe AHB did not get the memo?

 Bees from the Yucatan are all Africanized. We don't want them here in NY,
despite what Roger thought.

Not in New York? Who's checking?

African genetics are spread all through the U.S..

seriously.

 Just because you have not had a *documented* case
all areas which have received queens from areas of documented AHB such as
Texas(New York) ) or migratory beekeepers (New York)  which have had bees in
areas of documented AHB or had hives in almonds with hives which have came
from areas of known AHB (New York) would in the opinion of the researchers I
have spoke with have some bees with AHB genetics.

AHB genetics are so widespread now many times serious stinging incidents are
not DNA tested in even the states known for AHB.

After all the first AHB was found in Texas 23 years ago.

just saying?

AHB not yet *reported* by the USDA in Missouri.
