This started when someone said the swarm of AHB that arrived in Contra Costa County came on a sugar boat from Hawaii.  The boat was actually from Guatemala.  AHB is not found in Hawaii.  This swarm survived a long sea voyage but was quite small when it was discovered.  Federal officials attempted to kill the swarm with a fogging unit such as they would normally use to fumigate a container.  The swarm flew off to parts unknown.  Some dead bees were recovered by the County Agricultural Commissioner, sent to the lab and found to be Africanized.  It is unlikely that the swarm was viable.  The county is trapping the area to be sure.
