Hi:
 
The comments about Africanized bees bring up an interesting issue.  Given
the media infatuation with horror stories, one hears rumors that some
towns and cities are rushing to pass ordinances prohibiting keeping of
bees.  Seems like we need to encourage Pro-Beekeeping Ordinances.  If you
outlaw European bees, AHB might end up being the "urban" bees.  Seems
like we need to keep as many EHB as possible to compete for nest sites
and for mating.
